Salters Hill safety improvements
Lambeth Council had installed a money-making camera trap at the foot of Salters Hill. Following an extensive campaign by Gipsy Hill Councillor Graham Pycock and several irate drivers the camera was removed. Graham also called successfully for genuine safety improvements at the school crossing at the bottom of the hill.
Graham says: “At last, the turning from Gipsy Road into Salters Hill will be redesigned to slow traffic where the children cross to get to and from Kingswood School. This is what was needed. I shall continue to press for the permanent removal of the cash-generating camera at the bridge, which I fear the Council wants to bring back.”
Meanwhile, Councillor Suzanne Poole has been working with council officers and local businesses to find ways to ease parking and congestion along Gipsy Road without harming local businesses. Contact Suzanne for details.
