I support this campaign. Leave this site green and friendly as it has been for many years. It has always given a great deal of pleasure to the local people.

I support this campaign completely. I was a serving Police officer at this station in the 60s and 70s and the garden was always kept immaculate and it won many prizes, including the Queen Mothers cup for the best kept garden. It is the only empty and green space on the Walworth Road and should remain so.

I, too, served at Carter Street Police Station from 1974 to 1987. The gardens were an oasis of green in what was then a dirty, ugly urban jungle [kudos for the improvements you've made!] . A good friend is [or, it seems, was] memorialised in these gardens – he wouldn’t be best pleased to see the state of them now.

Whilst I no longer benefit personally from said oasis, I feel for the residents who did and still could. Once gone, it isn’t ever likely to be restored. People really need these havens of beauty, however small.

Please think long & hard before deciding on this planning application – the people who voted you in deserve to be listened to…

I served for 10 years at Carter Street Police Station. It is a very built up area and the front garden provided a very welcome oasis of green in a very brick and concrete jungle.

Really interesting. Does anyone else find it difficult to cross the Peckham Hill St bit at Bonyar Road? cars zip in and out and tend to accelerate to overtake buses (and Bonyar Rd tends to be used as a ‘run’)

I support this campaign, completely.
I have written to the planning committee.
Issues are:-
a green site ,within all living memory.
it is the last geen site.
It is an endownment for Walworth people in perpetuity.
It was mentionned publically at Walworth Community Council in presentaations about the most recent upgrade of Walworth Road, officers and Councillors promised to protect> (They also promised a large “Beacon” to mark the famous crossing.) Could this be the place?

I am currently working on a report about Borough and Bankside. Looking at low and high points of the are. Basically doing a SWOT analysis and I have to agree with you that Borough High St and also Borough road need some major work starting from the buildings layout to the public realm

I totally agree.

Borough high street is the weak point of the growing area of London bridge and bank side.
It has been left adrift for too long, with careless and dirty side alleys and decadent buildings. No plants are visible and the only selling thing around is kebabs and cheap shops. How decadent. With the Shard next door it will look like a Ferrari parked into a backstreet toilet.

It really needs a revamp for the sake of the people living around. Otherwise they will keep thinking is normal to leave stuff on the street or ravish the common places like it was middle age era. They wil feel better and they will behave better. But this kind of education project needs to start from above. And be thorough.

Thank you for the space.

The King stairs development will probably stay closed forever. What a liberty!
