Residents or persons working in the borough may ask questions on any matter in relation to which the council has powers or duties.

Responses may be supplied in writing following the meeting.

The chair invited attendees to submit any public questions in writing to the clerk.

The following questions were submitted:

Community Infrastrucutre Levy

If there is to be the GLA CIL and Southwark Council CIL will they be the total charges related to a planning application?

At present the S106 can be made up from a number of areas such as education, transport etc. and there are special levy’s such as the TfL levy for road improvements round the Elephant & Castle that make up the charges on each site. Therefore the planning applications will only have the two charges with no breakdown or special charges?

East Walworth Green Links Programme

The Council are undertaking works to the East Walworth Green Links Programme and although the outline proposals have been advertised other areas such as Bagshot Street have had detailed pamphlets setting out the proposed works - why were no detailed proposals provided to residents in the area of Sedan Way SE17?

The main issue is whether the mature beach trees and current grassed areas are to be preserved along Sedan Way from East Street to Surrey Square

A resident chased a response to a question submitted to the meeting on 10 October 2012:

There are confusing signs on Heygate Street onto Walworth Road stating end of 20 mile per hour zone which indicate Walworth Road is an 30 mile per hour road. Then under the railway bridge there is a sign end of 20 mile per hour zone which is conflicting information – can this be addressed?

To which a response had been provided:

As part of a recent signage review in the Walworth area, the signage in Heygate Street will be changed to reflect the 20mph limit in Walworth Road.
