OBVNF Neighbourhood Plan First Draft

Posted by

0

Ater a long period in gestation we have now compiled a draft neighbourhood plan for the Old Bermondsey area.  This is the product of our various working groups who have each contributed suggestions in their respective policy areas.  There is considerable further refinement still to be done but the document as it stands will be sent to Southwark Council for comment once we have received any feedback from the local community.  If you have any further suggestions for policies that you think should be included or other comments please let us have them by email to: consultation@oldbermondseyforum.org Our intention is to pass the draft to Southwark Council by Friday 14 October so please let us have feedback as soon as possible.  There will be further opportunity to shape the plan at forthcoming meetings but anything not included at this stage will not go before the Council for their input and thus we will not have any indication on their receptivity to further inclusions.

Neil Coyle – Transport survey

Posted by

0

One of the issues many local people raise with me is transport. Problems include congestion and associated air pollution, buses ending routes early and overcrowded tubes and buses. Transport for London have also contributed to some areas experiencing additional traffic and gridlock in some cases – which will get worse when Tower Bridge closes for three months sadly.

Many people also seek to improve local transport. There are campaigns for a new bridge linking Rotherhithe to Canary Wharf for pedestrians and cyclists. There seems to be support for extending the London cycle hire scheme eastwards into our community. Many people also support the Bakerloo Line extension and would welcome further investment in our transport infrastructure locally and more generally in London. I’ve raised this with the new Chancellor and Mayor who say they are keen to work together.

Last week I also met Val Shawcross, the Deputy Mayor of London for Transport and an ally in City Hall. We discussed a whole range of transport issues affecting local residents – including the work already done by Val and Sadiq Khan to introduce the new ‘hopper’ bus fare and cheaper travel as well as opening the night tube. My brief blog on the meeting is online here: http://www.boslabour.org.uk/transport_with_a_familiar_face

I’m now also running a short transport survey online that I’d love to see your views on. It includes traffic jams, tubes and bus issues as well as the new bridge and cycle extension idea. Please share your concerns or thoughts on these and other local transport issues here: http://www.boslabour.org.uk/transport_survey_2016 – or email me at: Neil.Coyle.MP@parliament.uk

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Best wishes,

Neil

Local Traffic Problems

Public Meeting

Thursday   8 September 7pm  Southwark Council Offices  Tooley St

Local traffic and its impact on air quality have long been a concern to many local businesses and residents.  As the London Bridge redevelopment work changes focus from St Thomas St to the south of the railway line to Tooley St to the North these issues will again be highlighted.  Grange Ward councillor Damian O’Brien and others have been working hard over the past few months to bring the various bodies who dictate traffic management issues together before a public meeting in an attempt to find some strategy for improving the present deeply unsatisfactory situation.  Below is his invitation to all to attend.  We are pleased to relay this invitation and would urge anyone concerned with the current situation to try and attend.

Subject: Invitation to have your say about traffic planning in your area

Hello

Transport and traffic flow issues around Bermondsey and London Bridge have been the cause of much discussion over the years. Residents and community groups often feel that all the different agencies operate in isolation to each other.

I am arranging a meeting to bring together all the interested parties. The specific objective is to agree how to create a traffic management plan for the area between Tooley Street, Borough High Street, Great Dover Street and Tower Bridge Road (if the group feel this is the right boundary).

Transport for London, Network Rail, Southwark Council, Team London Bridge and Guy’s Hospital have already confirmed their attendance and will give a short presentation to the audience whose input will be critical.

With this in mind, I would like to invite you to attend. Please bring along anyone else who you think would be interested in local transport issues. I hope as many interested groups in the area as possible, including schools and community groups, come along and have their say.

7-9pm
Thursday 8th September 2016
Ground floor meeting rooms
Southwark Council offices
160 Tooley Street
SE1 2QH

A quick RSVP back to me would be helpful for planning purposes.

Hopefully we’ll see you on the 8th.

Kind regards,
