The Ends is an extraordinary, new, music festival for Croydon, bringing an eclectic mix of artists and styles to Lloyd Park. The inaugural event aims to engage and inspire local, national, and international communities of composers, performers, creators, and concert-goers through world-class perfomances from the best live performers of Rap, Afrobeat, Hip-Hop and Dancehall. The festival is designed to offer access and opportunity to the best young, local talent; to share space on stage and to all areas of the live music industry.
PARKING / ROAD CLOSURES We propose a number of road closures and parking restrictions around the event days with 2 main aims: Deter non-resident vehicles parking in streets around the event using Road Closure signage, resident access permits scheme and stewards Time-limited road closure on Coombe Road (East and West from to Park Hill Road to Oaks Road) to allow for safe egress We expect to close the road for a period of around 30 mins, within a 2 hour window each evening, 1 hour either side of the show curfew Resident Access Permit Scheme Resident Access Permits distributed by 24th May 2019 - Link on community website (from next month) to request additional permits Traffic plans published on community website We will write to all affected residents with details of the scheme and contact details
KEY Time-limited road closure Resident permit scheme Resident permit parking road closure restricted The Ends Festival The time-limited road closure of Coombe Rd would be expected to be applied to assist a safe and smooth egress. The expectation is that the closure would be applied for up to 1 hour either side of curfew: Fri: 21:00 - 23:00 Sat: 21:00 - 23:00 Sun 20:00 - 22:00. Otherwise we would expect it to remain open with a clearway order to prevent stopping. All the roads o ff Coombe Rd (highlighted blue & pink) would require road closures. We’d propose a resident permit scheme ro allow permissive access to residents. Those coloured pink would have no vehicle access during the closed period.
AUDIENCE ARRIVAL & DISPERSAL In keeping with previous events of this type, we expect The Ends audience will arrive over a number of hours and the majority will stay until the main stage headline performance finishes We expect the audience to use East Croydon as their main train station and that the trams will be used for entry, but not exit from the Park Trams will not stop for passengers (boarding or alighting) at Lloyd Park stop for a 45 min period around the event egress times The proposed egress route for attendees is to use the full width of Coombe Road up to the roundabout at Park Hill Road - from there to use foot path only into central Croydon We will provide security / stewards, toilets and litter management along this route We will manage road crossings Security will remain in place until road closures are lifted and egress is complete
KEY Pedestrian route to/from East Croydon Egress to use full road width 1.6 miles 32 mins The Ends Festival Full width of Coombe Rd used for egress The plan indicates the proposed pedestrian route to/from East Croydon station. We would expect to provide signage, stewards, barrier, and toilets along the route and to marshal road crossings, where appropriate. The proposal would be, that during egress, we allow pedestrians to use the full road width through the road closure, and then to push pedestrians onto the pavements. During egress, we would not expect to use the Lloyd Park Tram stop for attendees - given expected capacity and frequency - subject to consultation with TfL.
