Canning and Clyde
Healthy Streets Project – Final decision
Also called the Addiscombe East-West Neighbourhood Project
We have heard from Croydon Council on the final decision about whether or not the CR0 11 Healthy Streets project proposals will go ahead.
In brief – they won’t! The reason given is the level of opposition locally. Below is the email sent to us by the Project Manager.
The briefing note gives the number of responses to the paper questionnaire and the online questionnaire. For the paper questionnaire he summarises the figures as ‘Overall 'not supported' responses: Addiscombe East: 62.37%; Addiscombe West: 55.56%’. We are in Addiscombe West, which runs from Clyde Road westwards towards East Croydon station.

‘Dear Resident Representatives
Addiscombe East-West Neighbourhood Project - Outcome of Engagement
We write to inform you that, following the engagement process held about potential traffic management restrictions in the area during November and December 2024, the outcome of the consultation is as follows:
7300 letters distributed. 431 returned questionnaires.
Responses were analysed according to the level of support expressed in the questionnaires and show that overall nearly 60% of respondents were against any form of access controls as described in the consultation.
Croydon will therefore not pursue the design and implementation of access controls following this result. The consultation report will be shared with all resident associations who participated in the scheme development and engagement in due course.
There was support for some specific road safety measures as outlined in the attached note.
Regards’
There will be some road safety measures at the junctions of Lower Addiscombe Road with Elgin, Havelock, Outram and Ashburton Roads.
