Campaign Timeline

Campaigning for a change at Tulse Hill began in 2013 but stalled due to the Covid pandemic. We’re now working to revive the plans to improve Tulse Hill for everyone.

Background

Between 2013 and 2017, residents and businesses held an extensive consultation and development process, which generated a proposal to improve the area around the gyratory and remove traffic from part of Norwood Road.

The favoured proposal was to part pedestrianise the eastern arm of the gyratory

COVID-19 Stalls the Plans

Unfortunately, action stalled after the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic due to financial difficulties faced by Transport for London (TfL). However, in 2025 a group of local residents formed Transform Tulse Hill with the goal of reviving the scheme to enhance the gyratory.
