We asked for your views to influence the Southwark’s Preventing Suicide Strategy and Action Plan for 2023-2028.

What changes do we need to make to support sustainable travel in Southwark?
Over 70% of respondents told us they supported measures to reduce traffic in Southwark.
We have published our Streets for People strategy, with detailed proposals for reducing traffic and improving our neighbourhoods for the people who live in them. Later this year we will be engaging with people across the borough to find out what this could mean at neighbourhood and street level.
What did local people want to see as the permanent traffic arrangements on Rye Lane?
61% of respondents preferred to keep the buses running two-ways on Rye Lane, though residents of Rye Lane itself, and younger people, would have preferred it to be one-way or even vehicle-free. Respondents also noted issues with rubbish, narrow pavements and street clutter.
We have proposed to retain the two-way buses on Rye Lane. We will be working with disabled people, and with other teams in the council to improve pavement conditions and accessibility on Rye Lane and side streets.
