The Addiscombe East and West Neighbourhood Project started in October 2023 after residents raised road safety issues about the high level of through traffic in some residential roads.
The solid colour on the map is the outer boundary of the area the scheme covers. Neighbourhoods outside of the area are still part of the overall consultation.
Resident involvement and objectives
Since October 2023 the Council has been working with representatives from local resident associations including:
- East Croydon Community Organisation (ECCO)
- H.O.M.E. Residents’ Association
- Addiscombe & Shirley Park Residents’ Association (ASPRA)
- Blackhorse Residents’ Association
- CHASE Residents’ Association
- Whitgift Estate Residents’ Association
- Parkhill Residents’ Association
A co-design exercise was held on 27 January 2024 with representatives from the resident associations in the borough.

The key objectives of this project are to:
- reduce the level of through traffic in the residential roads in the map
- reduce traffic speeds where vehicles are going above the speed limit and reduce the perception of road danger
- improve road safety
- encourage more walking and cycling
To help achieve these objectives we have been working closely and collaboratively with representatives from resident associations within and also outside of the borough to co-design solutions to improve their neighbourhoods.
We will continue to:
- build on relationships with residents
- work together to find the best solutions
- be clear about the key aims and objectives of the project and its scope
- ensure residents have opportunities to offer their solutions to resolve traffic and road safety problems
- communicate regularly to keep residents informed and involved throughout the various project stages
