I don't think I've got an overall problem with the principle. However my main concern is with the very narrow pavement on Bellenden Road between Chadwick Road and Blenheim Grove which is heavily used by pedestrians on their way to Peckham Rye station by the shortest route from Bellenden Road, via Blenheim Grove. This is made worse by the Council allowing the owner of the property on the corner of Bellenden Road and Blenheim Grove to grow a thick privet hedge which overhangs up to 50% of the width of an already narrow pavement, a matter about which I have already written to the Council to little avail. Pedestrians are frequently obliged to step into the road to pass each other on this stretch of the pavement, which the restoration of two way traffic will make even more dangerous, since vehicles will drive nearer the pavements to avoid oncoming traffic. So I would argue that the widening of the pavement proposed in the plan on the other side of the railway bridge on Bellenden Road be extended all the way up to Chadwick Road.
