The stretch of Springbank Road between 56 to 68 is in decent state. Bollards could/ should have been cycling parking facilities though. Conversions to residential are particularly prevalent on the eastern side of Springbank Road: the majority are of poor/uncoordinated design. Facades need investment along that stretch (72 to 129).

Businesses occupying multiple premises on both sides of the street (South Circular and Hither Green Lane). Best way is the largest unit in the wider area and has a significant catchment. This Neighbourhood Centre has a strategic role in car, bus, cycle and pedestrian movement (N/S; E/W). It is particular hostile to pedestrians and cyclists of all abilities and ages. The fact that is one of the few crossings onto the other side of the railway track towards Lee and Grove Park makes this a particularly pertinent improvement project with benefits for local and strategic connectivity. Poor air quality notable. Scope for growth on Hither Green Lane.

A range of products and services are available along a reasonable busy road. Public realm quality/ inconsistency and parking enforcement are key issues. Design Challenge: Coordinated approach between private owners of large forecourts, short term free parking, rubbish collection and storage: repaving, outdoor seating, cycling parking and tree planting could make a difference.
