Croydon Council is to launch consultation on whether roads in the north-east of the borough should have speed restrictions of 20 miles per hour.

In February the authority gave the green light for 20mph speed restrictions to be rolled out in Thornton Heath, Norbury, Selhurst, Upper Norwood.

Now the council wants to know if people in Addiscombe to parts of South Norwood want their residential roads to be subject to the same restrictions.

Councillor Kathy Bee, cabinet member for transport and environment, said: “Residents in the north of our borough said yes to 20mph last year, and now we want to hear if people from the north-east want it too.

“Croydon had over 1,000 road casualties in 2014, which underlines why our 20mph plans are important and will make our borough safer for everyone if enough people come forward to support them.”

An online survey will be launched on Monday and will run until midnight on May 20.
