Our Healthy Walworth Review Consultation - extended to 19th September
Thank you to everyone who has already responded to the Our Healthy Walworth Review consultation. We've had over 700 responses but we want to make sure that everyone has the chance to share their views - so we're extending the consultation to 19th September.
All the details and the online survey can be found on the Walworth Review webpage - www.southwark.gov.uk/ohwalworthreview
The extension is giving us extra time to engage with school communities in Walworth as the new term starts, as well as to meet and hear from local businesses.
There is also just time to sign up for our community zoom meeting on Wednesday 1st September at 6pm - sign up here: https://walworthreview.eventbrite.co.uk
As well as your views on the current changes, we want to hear your ideas about improving the streetspace - what can we do with our streets to improve them for everyone? We've included some suggestions like the one below in the consultation, but these are really just a starting point.
Please encourage all your friends, family and neighbours to get involved and let us know what they think!
Our Healthy Walworth Review Consultation - until 5th September
Have your say in the Our Healthy Walworth Review consultation – open until 5th September.
Full details and the consultation questionnaire can be found here: Our Healthy Walworth Review
What you tell us in this consultation will help guide Southwark Council on whether to keep the road changes in Walworth, amend them or take them out. It takes five minutes to have your say.
Families enjoying one of our pop-up 'activation events'
It’s vital we hear from everyone who has an interest in your local streets – children, older people, people with disabilities, businesses, cyclists, commuters, shoppers… everyone. So please pass this on to your friends, family and neighbours.
There are loads of other opportunities to speak with council officers about the changes – we’re holding pop-up stalls throughout August, and there are two more Zoom meetings for the whole community coming up:-
book your place on these at https://walworthreview.eventbrite.co.uk/
Hope to see you there!
Our Healthy Walworth: Streetspace Review – REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Last year, Southwark Council introduced a number of trial road changes in the Walworth area.
The aims of these measures are to:
- Re-allocate streetspace for the local community
- Create space for walking, cycling and play
- Reduce through-traffic on our roads so all feel safer
- Maintain and improve bus reliability
To review the trial road changes we will be launching a full public consultation in July 2021, and analysing technical monitoring data that has been collected. We are asking the community to register your interest .
Registration is not compulsory - however it is appreciated as it allows us to ensure we are reaching all members of the community at consultation stage.
Walworth Streetspace - Public Meeting on 21 October 2020
Southwark Council is holding two meetings on Wednesday, 21 October 2020 (one at lunchtime and one in the evening to give more people an opportunity to attend). We want to hear from local residents about the benefits and issues with the trial Streetspace measures that have been installed in Walworth.
Register by clicking the link at the bottom on this news item.Don't worry if you can't make this date - we are planning to run similar sessions over the next year, and there will be a full public consultation later next year before any measures are made permanent.

Pelier Park consultation
Southwark Council are consulting on future improvements to Pelier Park, a small park to the west of Walworth Road, and we'd love to hear from all of you who have taken an interest in our Streetspace project.
Pelier Park is a small local park, off Walworth Road, which is in need of investment. It is proposed that a complete redesign and enhancement to the park will transform its visual appeal and could increase visitor numbers and encourage wider use.
We carried out an initial consultation last year and the park design has been updated based on the feedback from that consultation - which you can view here .
The new consultation is open until 11th October and can be found at www.southwark.gov.uk/pelierpark2
Walworth Experimental Travel Measures - Frequently Asked Questions
Over 1200 people have now visited our map at https://walworthstreetspace.commonplace.is/ and hundreds have given us their views on the impact of the changes in Walworth. Please continue to visit the site and add your views and suggestions, as you see changes continuing in the streets around you - every comment will be read and considered as part of the evaluation of the scheme, and will help us to improve it.
We have now published a set of ' Frequently Asked Questions ' which go into more detail on how the project works and the process going forward.
Thank you once again from the Highways team for all your contributions.
