Streatham High Road Improvements Survey - August 2011

This reference document details a survey taken by Savills on behalf of the London Borough of Lambeth on attitudes to potential improvements to the Streatham High Road.

As part of the Streatham High Road and Public Realm Improvements Study, Streatham High Road, the London Borough of Lambeth commissioned Savills to undertake a survey of pedestrians and businesses on Streatham High Road, to gain their views on previous recent improvements that had been undertaken as Phase 3A of Transport for London’s (TfL) Drive Thru to Destination project. This opportunity would also enable respondents to give their views on how the rest of the High Road could be improved.

The Phase 3A works were undertaken in the vicinity of the Odeon Cinema, including the removal of pedestrian barriers within the central reservation, new street tree planting, up-lighting, street furniture and paving. The London Borough of Lambeth, together with TfL, Savills and Alan Baxter & Associates, is now looking at ways in which the stretch of the High Road to the north of this area can now be improved.

Savills commissioned specialist consultancy Count On Us to undertake the survey work, which resulted in responses from 91 businesses and 502 pedestrians being gained during August 2011.
