News on Our Healthy Walworth - Low Emission neighbourhood

Southwark is committed to quickly rolling out schemes to make travel safe and healthy as lockdown eases. This is in coordination with TfL's Streetspace for London programme.

Walworth has been identified as a priority, as it receives a very high volume of through traffic and also has a high concentration of residents who may be vulnerable to Covid-19. To help ensure the safety and health of all road users and residents in this difficult time, we have reviewed the measures informed by the earlier consultation for the Walworth Low Emission Neighbourhood - 'Our Healthy Walworth' - and identified the ones that will increase pedestrian space for social distancing and encourage active travel.

We have set up a new Commonplace map for people to tell us about the impact of these changes on the streets where you live and travel. This will be live for comments once the measures are installed - this should be in late June/early July. For full details and to register your interest go to Walworth Streetspace
