Representatives from the group will inform the meeting about the group’s work.
Minutes:
Jeremy Leach (Southwark Living Streets) gave a visual presentation to generate ideas among the community. The aim was to improve streets and public spaces in the local area. The Peckham and Nunhead Area Action Plan (PNAAP) was currently being developed and everyone was encouraged to feed into that. The PNAAP was looking at what Nunhead and Peckham would be like in 2020. It should be an accessible place, a good place to live and of clean and green character. Jeremy invited residents to express views and to attend the monthly Southwark Living Streets meetings.
In response to questions, Jeremy agreed that some of the crossings were appallingly maintained. A new cycling superhighway would go East to West along the A202 and there was a good chance that pedestrian improvements would come to the area.
Members agreed that the Walworth Road improvements came out of local voluntary groups’ ideas working with TfL over a period of time. If something similar was done in this instance there was a good chance that similar improvements could come to this area. The PNAAP was about developing a coherent vision. There was a need to develop Jeremy’s ideas and make the area more pedestrian and cycle friendly.
The chair said that the PNAAP would be looked at again in the new year.
