We have made a joint response to this with Southwark Cyclists this can be seen in the Word file – Canada Water AAP-SLS&SC

Our next monthly meeting will be at our normal venue, the Upper Room, Royal Oak, Tabard Street, at 7 pm on Thursday, October 15.

We hope to be joined by Southwark Councillor James Barber, who has been appointed as borough Champion for Walking and Cycling. He will address us on his role and aims.

Our agenda will then be:

1. Review of progress on our network of walking routes: “Green infrastructure”
2. Borough High Street. We will be joined by the new Coordinator of the Bankside Residents’ Forum, Andrew Richardson, who, with Jeremy and others, will have done a walkabout the previous day
3. Announcement of LIP settlement
4. Proposals for CGS schemes, applications for which this year will begin in November
5. Canada Water Action Plan
6. Area reviews: Camberwell, East Walworth, others
7. Group publicity
8. Please bring other concerns and initiatives.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday evening.

There is a lot of interest in the idea of cycle superhighways in London. The Mayor has proposed that a number of these routes will be created to offer cyclists safe, efficient routes into London from different parts of the city.

We feel that Southwark is perfectly suited for such a route and we have teamed up with Southwark Cyclists to produce our own ideas for a cycling superhighway in Southwark.

The route would run north-south and connect the towns and villages of Southwark with the main bridges across the river. Please have a look at our proposals and tell us what you think.
