Note: This is an executive function.

Members considered the information contained in the report.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the community council supports the recommendations to be made to the cabinet member for environment, transport and recycling to implement the Denmark Hill cycle and pedestrian crossing improvements, detailed in the appendices to the report.

2.  That the community council approve the proposal to widen and improve existing pedestrian footway on Greendale, adjacent to Bessemer Grange Primary School, detailed in the appendices to the report.

3.  The above decision is subject to the following additional comments from the Camberwell Community Council being put forward to the cabinet member for environment, transport and recycling:

·  The planned cycle route is complicated and likely to be ignored by many cyclists who instead will use a shorter direct route down Denmark Hill to Ruskin Park. This is a dangerous area containing an accident hotspot. Officers need to look again at the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in the area.

·  Further consultation is needed with ward councillors, the Ruskin on the Hill Residents Association and the Denmark Hill Tenants and Residents Association. They have all raised serious safety concerns.

·  Southwark police officers should investigate speeding on Denmark Hill and subsequent enforcement action.
