Over 130 people submitted answers in the first phase of the Lewisham Healthy Neighbourhoods consultation in East Sydenham.

We asked people to submit comments about the East Sydenham area on the StreetBuilder website, and/or attend co-design workshops. This way we can understand how people feel about traffic, noise, air quality and other aspects in the area.

We received over 130 submissions about 292 locations in East Sydenham. Since July the community has given us feedback where the traffic issues are most problematic.

The bar chart below shows the number of times people uploaded a comment with a location for each issue.
