Transport for London (TfL) has put in place a short-term no‑stopping restriction on a busy stretch of Lee High Road in Lewisham to permit gas connection works to proceed safely.
Where and when the restrictions apply
The measures affect the section of Lee High Road between Lee Church Street and Dacre Park. The restriction came into force at 08:00 on Monday 20 July and is expected to remain until 16:30 on Thursday 23 July. TfL says the road may be re-opened earlier should the works finish ahead of schedule.
How the order will be enforced
The no‑stopping order will only be active at the times shown on the traffic signs that will be placed on site. TfL has emphasised that the restriction can be temporarily lifted at the direction of a police officer or an authorised TfL representative.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused during these necessary works and appreciate the patience and understanding of local residents and road users.”
The statement was issued by Andrew Ulph, identified by TfL as its Coordination Manager.
Local impact and advice for road users
TfL describes the gas connection as part of broader maintenance and improvement activity to the capital’s road network. The authority says the work should reduce the likelihood of later disruption and protect those using the road.
- Plan journeys in advance and consider alternative routes during the restricted period.
- Follow temporary signs and directions from police or TfL staff on site.
- Expect enforcement only when signs indicate the restriction is active.

TfL has asked members of the public to give feedback on the roadworks. Local residents and businesses affected by the closure should check temporary signage for the precise hours of enforcement and contact TfL if they need further information about access or the timetable for completion.
