Sustainable Streets proposals for parts of the Royal Borough of Greenwich have been withdrawn.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich have abandoned their "Sustainable Streets" proposals for Plumstead and Shooters Hill amid a public backlash over the scheme.
The council say they are adjusting the consultation to focus on the four areas they believe could benefit most from the Sustainable Streets scheme (Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich) where they are either town centre locations with good transport links, have high levels of new development, or areas that would suffer from parking displacement from other areas.
Councillor Averil Lekau, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Sustainability and Transport, said, "we keep our proposals under constant review. Therefore, we have reconsidered our Sustainable Streets proposals and are adjusting our consultation to focus on the four areas we think could benefit most from the Sustainable Streets scheme.
"This means we will be withdrawing the proposals in respect of Shooters Hill and Plumstead areas. The consultation in respect of these areas is closed and we will not be bringing forward permit parking proposals in these areas. This will have no bearing on already existing CPZs in those areas".
