Great news! Our petition has passed 1,000 signatures

Great news for our campaign. Our petition recently passed the 1,000-signature target. We’re really grateful to everyone who has signed, shared, and spread the word.

The responses have been overwhelmingly local: around three-quarters of signatories come from SW2, SE27, SE24, and SE21, covering Tulse Hill, West Norwood, Herne Hill, and West Dulwich.

A smaller number live further afield but have a regular connection to the area – former residents, visiting family, or people who travel through the junction for work.

More than one in five signatories left a public comment, and the picture they paint is consistent and urgent.

Some of the most powerful responses come from people writing about their direct, lived experience:

Signatories describe the gyratory as a death trap and a racetrack; they write of dreading the crossing, of watching accidents unfold, and of avoiding the junction entirely when travelling with children.

Cyclists are particularly vocal, with many saying they have stopped using the route altogether. Healthcare workers— including a GP and a nurse based in the doctor’s practice on the gyratory— describe personally attending casualties.

Several signatories reference the junction’s entry into the Mayor’s Junction Improvement Programme nearly a decade ago and the 2014/15 consultations at which redesign was promised.

The sense of abandonment and frustration is palpable from the comments that have been made.

Please do sign the petition if you haven’t, and if you are able to share it, please do so!
