We are tracking Southwark Council’s progress on reallocating street space to people as part of Southwark’s Streetspace plan in response to Covid-19.
We have a spreadsheet and a map showing all the measures. If anything is missing, incorrect, or out of date please let us know. Send us a photo if you can. Contact us at southwark@lcc.org.uk.
The map shows implemented schemes by default. You can view proposed schemes using the menu on the right.
There are consultations using Commonplace maps for some of these schemes. Find those here. Also, be sure to contact your councillors to tell them you support these schemes and want to see more.
