Southwark's Overview and Scrutiny Committee is carrying out an investigation into the problems relating to peak-time travel across the borough. We want to know about those issues, big and small, which make it difficult for you to get to work or get the kids to school in the morning. Are there bus stops where people just can't get on the bus because it's always to crowded? Is it difficult getting in and out of your train station at peak times? Are there cycling routes which you feel are unsafe?


We also want to get your positive suggestions for improvement. Could extending a bus route a little further link up the local transport network? Could more be done to relieve congestion on the roads?


Southwark Council does not have direct control over many of the issues which will come up, but the council does have significant influence. Southwark Scrutiny will engage with various organisations, including the new Mayor and TfL to bring these problems to the fore, and see if more can be done to resolve them.

The only way to resolve the issues is to ban cars on the road at peak times (no car pollution that way as well) and just have buses. London is so overcrowded with the well-off that there are 4x4 s on tiny roads it is a joke- especially from the point of view of the pollution as we already been informed

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      I don't think anyone here is claiming the Torygraph is the paragon of good reporting, or impartiality. I was referring to media organisations across the spectrum, and I opened it wide up, way beyond the BBC.  But, to your point, if you're making a programme about abortion, say, you're not going to interview the man/woman on the street with a moderate view, you're always going to go to the people at the extreme ends, that's the point of the exercise, right? And most people watching innately know what's objectively right and wrong, because mainly they're decent people who've had the privilege of growing up in a liberal, free-thinking, tolerant democracy.  There have always been despicable people, and there always will be. Things feel worse at the moment because of the immediacy of media, but maybe they aren't. One day, Trump will be a blip in history and everyone will be consumed with the next big problem. Probably a genocidal robot.

      If a pedestrian gets hit by a bike, it can be very serious. All it takes is someone not spotting a cyclist coming up at speed.    Clearly, no one wants a collision. so let’s just make it easier to be seen and for everyone to be safe. Bike lights (front and back), helmet lights, reflective strips on your backpack, high visibility clips on the ankles, wrists, lights on your spikes… it’s not hard and it shouldn’t be expensive. I’m just wondering if cyclists haven’t yet adjusted to the darker evenings and don’t actually realise. Perhaps cyclists don’t drive but would benefit from doing so and seeing what it’s like from a drivers point of view.  All cars had lights on.  One of the Boris bikes didn’t, it must have been broken as I thought they were automatic.

      The other thing is that the money the council makes from the festival is not spent in the local area, whereas money made from events in other parks are. Renata Hamvas would have to approve any change to the premises licence before the events team can consider a license for the proposal in the current form. There needs to be an organised local pushback this time, to at least stop that second weekend being granted. I am thinking along the lines of a door to door petition. There are local elections next May. Lot's of opportunity to make this an election issue for impacted wards around the park. Just need to be orgaised.
