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.
We asked for people's views on the existing cycle route on Druid Street.
Many people felt that this was a useful route for cycling and part of important east-west infrastructure.
However some residents and businesses in the area noted increased congestion and challenges with loading and deliveries.
We will be retaining the cycle lane, but also following up with local businesses to develop ideas to address the congestion issues.
