In total, there were 1220 respondents to the online consultation. Approximately 70% of those that responded supported the proposals. The full report can be found here.
We are now reviewing the scheme in light of the comments and suggestions that have been raised. The review is expected to be completed in the Autumn of 2020.
We are consulting on creating two way streets in the Lower Road area and Cycleway 4.
The existing road layout creates a sense of motor-vehicle dominance, one way streets encourage fast vehicle speeds, which adds to unpleasant conditions for both pedestrians and cyclists.

The proposal to create two way streets originates from Canada Water Area Action Plan (CWAAP). Details can be found here
In the development of this scheme several other options were explored, all of which were unsuccessful as they resulted in delays which were considered unacceptable, particularly for buses. Southwark’s view is the Rotherhithe Movement Plan proposals represent the only feasible option to make the streets two-way and best addresses our aspirations for the area.

We want to hear your views on proposals that will help change your streets
We want to hear your views on Lower Road Two-Way streets and Cycleway 4. This consultation will remain open until January 2020. We will consider all the feedback we have received. The strategy will be finalised following meetings with Cabinet and CCG governing body in January 2020. However, we will continue to listen to people in Southwark and use their experiences to help us plan our work once the consultation has been published.
