This is your opportunity to give your views on the traffic filter on Bermondsey Street plus the other complementary measures implemented in 2020. We want to hear from everyone who has an interest in how the streets in this area are used, including those who have already responded to our Commonplace page.
Since 2020, we have been monitoring the amount of traffic around Bermondsey Street. The final data will be presented to the Cabinet Member to inform the final decision on whether to keep, remove or amend the scheme.
Streets for people
This scheme has the following aim:
What was introduced
Since we want to understand the views of residents from all demographics, we ask that you complete the questions about where you live and your background at the end of the survey. This information will only ever be used for monitoring. We will not publish any personal data.
There are also a number of online community meetings where you can meet with concil officers and discuss your experiences of the scheme:-
5th August 6pm - meeting for businesses
18th August 6pm - community meeting
4th September 10.30am - community meeting
Our flyer has been sent out to this area, we welcome responses from those living/working both inside and outside of this area.
The results of this questionnaire, as well as the engagement events and your comments on our Commonplace page we are carrying out this summer, will be considered alongside monitoring data from the streets themselves to produce a report and a recommendation to either:
One: Make the scheme permanent
If the data and consultation feedback indicates that the trials are meeting our objectives, we will recommend making the current experimental traffic orders permanent.
Two: Make amendments to the existing scheme
If the data, consultation feedback and safety considerations indicate that changes can be made to improve a scheme then we will recommend making amendments.
Three: Remove all or part of the scheme
If the scheme is not achieving the benefits expected, we can remove all or part of the scheme (subject to safety considerations).
