[Serena2012]

Is this really what Southwark intended in the middle of a pandemic? Why are all these changes so ill-thought through?

I saw this on twitter and noticed that the story has been updated by LBC concerning antisocial behaviour on Rye Lane caused by the closure.

I see that the BBC also has the video as part of its lead story, not a good image for Peckham or the council.

Both those roads have pinch points that already get congested. Consort road in particular. Also Consort road is very residential. Why force more traffic that way?

IS there any consultation, anywhere. Are we the residents allowed to comment?
