David's Road 2 way would be a disaster. People turning left off the South Circular would create all kinds of problems and back traffic up. You have cars flying down that Hill, having to slam on the brakes as people try and turn in. It would also remove 20? Parking bays without adding any more parking. So that's actually removing parking in Forest Hill. More importantly, residents parking, which should take absolute priority over visitors or shops. (now there's also the old gym development which is going to have 10? Flats who will all rely on street parking)


Also putting more parking outside Paddy Power and digging up pedestrians walk ways isn't a great idea for a street that already feels over run by cars. People that expect to get easy parking in Forest Hill are just kidding themselves. This is London. An area with the population density of Forest Hill, which is on the South Circular, is never going to have lots of free, accessible and ample parking.
