Introduction
To address speeding concerns, we are seeking to introduce speed humps which will assist in lowering traffic speeds along Crusoe Road and Friday Road.
The benefits of speed humps include improved road safety:
- Reduction of traffic speed
- Reduced risk of collisions
- Discourage through traffic
- Improved perception and road environment
Statutory consultation July-August 2024
A Notice of our intention to introduce the above measures will be published in a local newspaper (Wimbledon and Wandsworth Times) and posted on lamp columns within the vicinity. Representations against the proposals described in this Notice must be made in writing to Environment, Civic and Climate Department, Future Merton, Merton Civic Centre, London Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5DX or email trafficandhighways@merton.gov.uk by no later than 16 August 2024 quoting reference ES/RH/Friday-Crusoe 2024. Objections must relate only to the elements of the scheme that are subject to this statutory consultation.
Decision November 2024
All representations along with officers’ comments and recommendations were presented to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Cleaner Streets and the decision was made to proceed with the proposal.

Works are scheduled to commence in January 2025 and all residents will be informed in advance.
