Who Are We

Open Our Roads is an independent campaign organised by a group of local cross party residents who care passionately about their community.

We're campaigning for the removal of poorly planned and implemented “LTNs” (Low Traffic Neighbourhoods) in SE19 and SE25.

Due to the strength of feeling about the negative impacts of LTNs and the proposed ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) replacements, we now have the support of over 2,500 people through their Facebook group.

Open Our Roads campaigners care about residents of all roads, all road users and the community as a whole. We stand for inclusive design, community cohesion and accountable governance.

What are we fighting for?

Open roads: Fair, safe and equal access for all road users to all of the local area’s public highways. The first step is removing all road barriers, re-opening our roads and eliminating unnecessary congestion from our main roads.

Clean air: Sustained and continuous improvement to the local air quality, especially on main roads where levels have been measured to be above the legal limits allowed.

Thriving town centres: The best possible conditions for our local businesses and traders to flourish during and after the pandemic while maintaining the unique character of our neighbourhoods.

Meaningful engagement: Proper consultation with all residents, businesses, road users, stakeholders and any person or organisation who will be impacted by significant changes to our local road network.

Evidenced-based policy: Data and evidence that leads to the most effective solutions and best practice policy addressing the community’s most pressing challenges.

Inclusive design: Ensuring our most vulnerable neighbours have access to the services and activities necessary for active participation in our community.
