We’re sadly having to move from our SE23 warehouse/office space to Catford South (opp Homebase). From 17 Nov we will urgently need new volunteers to replace those who sadly won’t be following us. Please spread the word

Crazy Tyres were fined £758 for blocking this cycle lane in Catford. As you can see from the sign it forces cyclists into riding the wrong way on a one-way road off the South Circular.
Bang to rights and a rare accolade to the none too cycle friendly Lewisham Council.
Hence if you see a vehicle blocking a solisd line cycle lane take photos, maybe warn the driver, and if repeated report to Lewisham.

So after years of speculation, meetings, announcements and campaigning, we finally have a plan to get rid of the infamous Catford Gyratory is finally here for public consultation.
What is it?
Transport for London (TfL) are consulting on a new junction layout in Catford Town Centre, which in addition to removing the gyratory, includes a new protected 2 way cycle track on part of Catford Road and Sangley Road, as well as on parts of A21 Rushey Green.
The deadline for the consultation is Monday 5 June 2023 . You can Lewisham Cyclists’ full response to the consultation here . It’s quite long and detailed but covers a lot of the good bits and a lot of the issues with the scheme. In summary, we think it’s a big step forwards, but also missing a number of keys issues.
It’s really important to get as many responses as possible to the council. The consultation is here. The first few questions in the survey relate to your reasons for visiting Catford Town Centre and how you travel there. If you’re reading this, you’ve probably walked, cycled or used public transport there at some point if not driven through it. This is how we suggest you respond to the key questions:
Proposed consultation responses
- Question 3. We would rank “easier access for cyclists” as top priority, followed by reducing road danger.
- Question 4. We think the facilities for cyclists would make it slightly better, and road safety slightly better too.
- Question 5. There’s a free text box to talk further about suggestions and comments. If you’re short on time, we’d ask you mention the following:
- Provide fully protected cycle lanes on A21 Bromley Road & A21 Rushey Green in both directions for the full extents of the proposed scheme.
- Provide a full CYCLOPS (Cycle Optimised Protected Signals) junction on all arms where A205 and A21 meet.
- Extend 2 way cycle track on Catford Road westwards to connect to Halfords site, by bringing forward plans for the cantilevered cycle bridge as part of future development.
- Extend 2 way cycle track on Sangley Road eastwards to connect to Plassy Road using bus stop bypasses, by using land from Catford island and/or reallocating carriageway space where needed.
- Install 20mph speed limit throughout the scheme extents
If you support our response you can also say.

Next week's lineup at The Honor Oak Pub is just ridiculously good.
Pierre Novellie is, to be frank, the best in the game these days. His special "Quiet Ones" on YouTube is my favourite UK comedy special of the last 5 years.

#TodaysWalk included #CroftonPark, where I snapped St Hilda's commemorative drain hoppers which I don't remember seeing mentioned in the guide-books.
I also managed to take in the the junction of Wildfell Road and Scrooby Street, in #Catford's North-West Sector, which looked, on the map, as if it might be a place of myth and legend.
It wasn't, at first sight, anything of the sort, so I went home again.
Though now I've got Covid and it's raining. So who knows?

From late 1980s to early 1990s, smaller service #buses from #Catford #bus garage in SE #London had a cartoon #cat on the side 🐈 🚌 (it was similar to the large cat sculpture which remains on top of the entrance sign to Catford shopping centre).
I briefly moved back to SE London from 1990 to 1992 and used to see these buses quite often, unfortunately this B&W photo is the only one I've found as smaller buses in suburbs often tend to be overlooked by the London bus spotters..
@HouseOfSchnuck Catford Mews is a great community cinema in #SE6. They also have regular markets and yummy food traders. Worth a visit for sure! #SouthLondon #Catford
@alice_swaggen, Vixx and myself went and checked out the Wild Cat Wilderness community garden in #catford on Saturday and I was thoroughly impressed. Six acres of community run gardening!
I had no idea something like this existed so nearby; I hope to visit again soon! It gives me hope for encouraging self-sustaining community projects in the city. 😍
