Thanks to 853's blog for posting up news that Greenwich Council have set up another ''consultation'' about the proposed Greenwich gyratory system, which threatens to turn Norman Road into a 2-lane northbound one-way system. In their first ''consultation'' they used maps that didn't even include the Ha'penny Hatch, so it wasn't clear that the Council was actually removing an important access route for cyclists into Greenwich. In order to pedestrianise two short bits of the existing one-way system in the centre of Greenwich they've come up with an enormous gyratory system which will remove the only quiet cycle route into West Greenwich from Deptford.
Their posh computer animations of the ''preferred'' council option will be on display at the equally posh Davenport House, King William Walk, Greenwich from Saturday , 26 June, to Tuesday, 29 June. It remains to be seen whether they've spent all their money on the computerised graphics and the expense of hiring rooms in Devonport House so couldn't afford an up to date map on which to base their graphics....
Their online consultation pages have not yet been posted up. Letting people participate in consultations is a dangerous concept....
