We are making some changes to the Great Suffolk Street Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN), and these are scheduled for 29th April 2021.
We have been monitoring the Great Suffolk Street LTN since its installation in December 2020. This has been done via the Commonplace website, resident feedback to Highways, and through discussions with ward councillors and the emergency services.
Issues have been highlighted regarding the reduction of access that has caused a disproportionate effect on journey times for some local residents.
In order to rebalance the impact of the scheme, whilst keeping it in line with Southwark’s response to Covid-19, there are a number of changes that will be taking place:-
Great Suffolk Street/Southwark Bridge Road
- Remove road closure (Prohibited Motorised Vehicles) to allow access to Webber Street
Sawyer Street/Southwark Bridge Road
- Remove No Entry restriction
Lant Street/Southwark Bridge Road
- Remove No Entry restriction
These changes are shown on the map below and are scheduled for the 29th April 2021.
Local residents will be notified by letter on the 23rd April.
Once the changes have been made on the 29th April a new website will be live https://gssapril2021.commonplace.is/ However, you can preregister for this site by clicking on the link, and you will be emailed when the site is live.
If you have commented on the commonplace map for this scheme on this site, please be assured that your comments have been recorded and there is no need to repeat them. We are keen to hear your views on the new arrangements as shown below.
