Southwark is the most fantastic place, filled with inspiring, passionate and caring people. We are lucky that, as an inner London borough, we attract world-class employers, organisations and cultural institutions here, and they in turn create jobs, bring in funding, and help make Southwark a great place to live and visit.
However, in common with the rest of our city we are also a place of contrast. While so many thrive, others struggle. Inequalities in health, income and...More

The objectives of this closure are in line with our Streets for People approach,...More
