A2 Roadworks

Major rebuilding of the A2 between Blackheath Hill and Goffers Road is planned to start on Sunday 15th February 2009 lasting for about 3 months. These works have been threatened for the last 5 years, but have never materialised, so don't be surprised if they are postponed yet again! The existing plan for the initial three weeks is now not for a complete closure of the road, but for a one-way operation for westbound traffic with eastbound traffic diverted via Lewisham. The heavy lorry ban in Greenwich town centre is also being lifted so expect jams on all routes to the centre out of Westcombe Park and try out the Clipper boat service instead.

Siege of Westcombe Park - 2012



Proposals have been announced for the traffic arrangements for the Olympic games - See http://bit.ly/yY9S . If these proposals for an Olympic Route Network are adopted, Westcombe Park will be entirely surrounded by either Core or Alternative routes.

Core Routes are defined as
“the main roads between accommodation, the Olympic Park and other main venues which will be heavily used by Games traffic throughout the Games period“
Alternative routes are roads
“included as a contingency against disruption on one of the core or venue specific routes and only used if needed”.

The map (click on it to enlarge) shows that it is proposed that the A2 should be designated an Alternative route (grey on the map). All the other roads, such as Maze Hill and Park Vista that are shown red on the map are proposed to be Core Olympic Routes

The Games – The Challenge
The Games are huge in scale – the equivalent of 26 World Championships and 20 times the size of the Football World Cup. 15,000 athletes from over 200 countries take part. Hosting the Games has been described as the largest logistical challenge a country can undertake in peace time. On each of the 16 days of the Olympic Games up to 500,000 spectators and 55,000 athletes, officials, media and sponsors will need transport; and 160,000 and 16,500 respectively on each of the 12 days of the Paralympic Games.

The proposed solution – The Olympic Route Network
Following the lessons and experience of previous host cities, London will have an Olympic Route Network ORN during the Games to transport the Games Family between venues and accommodation.

Under the powers provided in the 2006 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act, the Secretary of State will designate a temporary ORN linking together competition venues and key non-competition venues.

Designation of the ORN grants the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) ability to see what road works are planned for the network, and to keep the ORN free of non-emergency road and street works during the Games. Once the ORN is legally designated, the ODA also gains the ability to consult on and implement Traffic Regulation Orders on the ORN to manage traffic.

Many of the traffic management measures will be behind the scenes – such as improvements to traffic signals or CCTV. This is unlikely to have a noticeable impact on road users, but will also leave a positive legacy for smoothing traffic flows in London.

Between some key locations on the busiest sections of the ORN, where there is sufficient space, the traffic management measures may include special lanes where use is reserved for accredited Games vehicles. We expect that London will have a smaller length of Games Lanes compared to recent summer Games host cities. The vast majority of roads included in the ORN will be available for use by traffic as normal.

This consultation document sets out the proposed roads that may form the Olympic Route Network (ORN): a network of roads to be used by athletes and Games officials during the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (the Games). The stated purpose of the ORN is to enable safe, secure and efficient transportation of athletes and Games officials between venues and accommodation whilst at the same time minimising the impact on residents, businesses and visitors to ensure London is kept moving.

The detailed lists show that no less than 46 roads in Greenwich will be designated - more than in any other borough. As noted above, Westcombe Park will be intirely isolated, as happened with the recent mini-marathon, if these roads are all closed at the same time.

Consultation on the ORN is currently taking place and local residents are encouraged to make their views known. Responses in writing to this should be clearly marked 'ORN Consultation' and sent to DfT Olympic Route Network Consultation, Research Services House, Elmsgrove Road, Harrow HA1 2QG or emailed to ornconsultation@dft.gsi.gov.uk before 19th March 2009

Rights of Way between Charlton & Old Dover Roads

In 2004, the Greenwich Area Planning and Environment Committee decided, in response to requests from residents of Schofield Walk and elsewhere in the vicinity, to reject the application by Hexagon Housing Association to close the Rights of Way for cyclists, pedestrians and mobility scooters between Charlton and Old Dover Roads. As no local residents favoured closure, the Westcombe Society, along with other local amenity groups, supported that decision. Subsequently, however, Hexagon took unilateral action to flout the decision by illegally building walls to block these long-established rights of way (which the Council described as ‘pivotal’).

After this was reported in Westcombe News, readers’ letters showed that opinion in the area was sharply divided over the closure. The Society therefore campaigned for the Council to carry out a full consultation before deciding what to do next. When that consultation took place, the Society informed the Council that it did not propose to take a position on the proposal to close the rights of way, but would await clarification of possible diversion routes.

The Council has now informed the Society that it had received a number of objections to the closure of the rights of way, and that there was no doubt that the existing routes provide quick and easy access to a range of local shops and that their segregation from nearby roads offered a quieter and safer journey. It seems no lawful alternative diversion routes have been found, and the Committee will therefore need to decide what to do next, at a public meeting next year.

Westcombe Parking

When the Greenwich Area Planning Committee discussed the results of the 2006 parking survey in Westcombe Park, they instructed officers to carry out a further consultation six months after the new arrangements came into force in July 2007, paying particular attention to the situation for residents of Mycenae Road and users of Mycenae House. Regrettably, this has not yet taken place. However it is understood this omission will be rectified in early 2009 (over a year late).

In the meantime, officers have been considering much later consultations with residents of Westcombe Hill in particular, following petitions from differing groups of residents. These will be discussed at a meeting of the Area Planning Committee at the Town Hall, Wellington Street, Woolwich on Wednesday 10th December starting at 18.30. Members of the public may attend and (by prior arrangement) speak at the meeting.

Westcombe Park Sealed off for cars Sunday 5th October


Although the Council has not notified any affected residents, Westcombe Park is expected to be totally sealed off for Vehicular Traffic for much of Sunday. Although this is billed as a half Marathon, the closure will last far longer than for the London Marathon, where southern exits are typically re-opened after an hour or so.

The traffic order shows that Vanbrugh Hill is to be exempt from the order – but the roads at the northern end of Vanbrugh Hill will all be closed. Greenwich Time (page 3) says Park Row/Trafalgar/Woolwich Roads will be closed from 07.00 a.m. until all runners have passed at around 14.30 Click on th map for greater detail.

The following buses will be diverted away from Blackheath Standard and seriously delayed:– 53, 54, 108, 202, 286, 380, 386, 422. Check with Transport for London for nearest bus stop/best route (bearing in mind that the DLR will also not be running)
