Dulwich Village

We started by finding out how accessible the junctions were. We measured this against objectives set by Healthy Streets. This phase included:

• a design check
• surveys with residents and school pupils
• pan-impairment accessibility audit
• cycling accessibility audit
• ground investigation and junction survey

Read the phase 1 report

In Autumn 2022 we looked at how well the area worked for all kinds of road users through:

• online and paper surveys
• door to door survey in Calton Avenue and surrounding streets
• an on-street information stall
• workshops with pupils at Alleyn’s School and James Allen’s Girls’ School
• meetings with residents’ associations, the Dulwich Society, Dulwich Estate and Friends of Dulwich Square
• engagement with local businesses

The consultation received 1,242 responses. Of the people we spoke to:

• 86% were residents living in the immediate Dulwich Village area
• 11% identified as being disabled or having a disability
• 78% declared that they were car owners or had access to a car

Rad the phase 2 report

In winter 2022 we revised our proposals in light of the phase 2 consultation. We addressed:

• safety for vulnerable road users
• reducing traffic congestion along Dulwich Village
• improving the quality of the public space on Calton Avenue
• pedestrian improvements 
• reducing for northbound congestion at the Dulwich Village / Red Post Hill junction

A lot of consultation responses suggested banning vehicle access along Turney Road from the junction with Dulwich Village. We considered these alongside traffic data and surveys and decided that vehicle access had to be kept at this location.

We have looked at other opportunities to improve the street environment here, supporting the needs of local pupils, pedestrians and cyclists.

We held a consultation from 7 December 2024 to 17 January 2024. We asked for comments on the features of the Dulwich Village Junction Improvements design.

We received 990 responses.

Work began in July 2024 and is expected to be complete in early 2025.

We sent a works notification letter to residents and stakeholders.
