The Norwood Society

Transport

The Society takes a close interest in transport matters, including road improvements and parking. The proposed extension of Croydon’s Tramlink to Crystal Palace Parade has created considerable interest, and the Society considered very carefully the 3 possible routes for Tramlink to be extended, and has given its views. The extent of the use of parkland was regarded as of considerable importance.

The other important scheme is the proposed (and agreed) extension of the East London Tube Line to West Croydon via Norwood Junction. No details for the changes necessary to the Station are yet available, but it could well be a springboard for the regeneration of the South Norwood Conservation Area, which includes Station Road and the High Street. The Society has put forward an ambitious scheme for the creation of a Civic Square in South Norwood – see News Articles or News Archives for further information.

The Upper Norwood Triangle one-way system remains controversial – it remains a ‘trial’ but is clearly being treated by local authorities as a permanent arrangement. Congestion, parking, and its effect on business continue to pose serious questions.
