Lewisham Roundabout gone for good

Lewisham Roundabout - an efficient way to process traffic and separate Lewisham shopping centre from its main transport interchange is gone forever

This weekend, a new road layout came into effect in central Lewisham, replacing the main roundabout with something more complicated:

The new system will allow work on the Gateway project to continue and will remain in place for the rest of the year. The final road configuration will be created next year.

Meanwhile, a warning to pedestrians - don't do what Brockley Central did tonight and try to find a short cut while trying to get from Lewisham town centre to Loampit Vale. There is no way back on to the pavement - you'll be forced out on to the road system.
