Get traffic off South East London?s roads! Vote for Rotherhithe Bridge in the People?s Choice Award


Recommended Posts

Some of you may be aware of the proposed Rotherhithe Bridge design (image attached) that has been nicknamed the ?Boomerang Bridge? from the press it has been receiving over the last few months. reForm Architects, a Southwark based architecture practice and Elliott Wood engineers are proposing London?s first pedestrian and cycle bridge in an area crying out for a river crossing.


From Durrand?s Wharf in Rotherhithe to Westferry road / Marsh wall across the river and predicted to carry 13,000 clean commuters every day (that?s equivalent to 15 full Jubilee Line trains or over 170 full double decker buses) the proposed bridge will connect south east London to the docklands peninsular.


Less congestion on road and rail and cleaner air.


Linking to National Cycle Routes and Cycle Super Highways, it will provide a healthy new travel option for millions and open up more cycle journeys in the south east. It has also been outlined as a much needed crossing in TfL?s Connecting the Capital report.


To find out more information about the project including an animation, see the Rotherhithe Bridge website -

While this is only one award the project is at a stage where demonstrating strong local support for the design will prove to be fundamental in bringing it closer to being built.



If you support this design please VOTE now and SHARE to spread the word!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
