Our Healthy Walworth
Update
As a direct result of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and based on last year’s engagement on Our Healthy Walworth, the council will be trialling experimental measures with a view to enabling social distancing, supporting active travel and preventing an increase of traffic and pollution as we come out of lockdown. These will be installed in late June/early July. Please see the letter from Cllr Richard Livingstone (PDF, 409kb) regarding the experimental measures in the Walworth Road area.
We have set up a Commonplace map to enable you to feed back on the effects of these measures. This will be open to comments once the measures are installed.
Project details
Low Emission Neighbourhood
How can we make the Walworth area healthier and more pleasant for local people?
Less pollution, places you can enjoy, less through traffic, better bus journeys, safer walking and cycling, more attractive shopping and leisure: these could be some of the benefits of the Low Emission Neighbourhood.
Phase 1: 7 October to 31 December 2019
We’re asking you what the local issues are and what improvements you would like to see on your local streets. Click on the online map, answer a few short questions and tell us about traffic and other problems down your street.
Alternatively, we’ll be holding a number of drop-ins and pop-ups across Walworth, where you can come and meet our staff and share your thoughts.
- 25 October 2019 at East Street Market
- 22 November 2019 (afternoon only) at Walworth Road next to Morrisons
- 27 November 5pm to 7pm - drop-in session at Nelson, Kingston and Portland Tenants Community Hall, Trafalgar House, Bronti Close, Nelson Estate SE17 2HF
Phase 2: early 2020
We’ll work with you to develop some solutions to the problems you tell us about.
Phase 3: Summer to Autumn 2020
Formal consultation on the solutions we develop.
Phase 4
We start making improvements to the Walworth area from 2021.
