Flowers were left at the junction after the crash A woman in her 60s died at the junction on October 1 after being hit by a motorbike, with the motorcyclist having since been arrested on suspicion of death by dangerous driving. Data from Transport for London (TfL) shows there have been two other fatalities on Kidbrooke Park Road since 2022.
Charlie Fancy, 25, has lived in Kidbrooke just over a year and often uses the junction with Pegler Square to take her daughter to the park. She said speeding is a common issue in the area and several crossings on Kidbrooke Park Road could be managed better.
Another resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said traffic in the area has become more prevalent as more homes have been built. They said accidents can easily happen at the Pegler Square junction and she would like to see barriers being added to the road to protect pedestrians.
Labour Councillor Sandra Bauer, representing the Kidbrooke Village and Sutcliffe ward for Greenwich Council, started a petition last week following the tragic incident. Cllr Bauer has started a petition to encourage speed calming measures to be added to the junction.
