Streets for People: making our streets greener

We're working to create healthier neighbourhoods and change how we use streets in our borough.

Southwark is one of the most densely populated areas in the country. The space we have is precious. 

The Streets for People initiative aims to change how we travel and use streets in Southwark. Its goal is to create healthier neighbourhoods, cleaner air, thriving town centres and safer roads, with less traffic.

Watch a video explaining the Streets for People initiative.

Watch a video showing Southwark residents, business owners, parents and local leaders talk about how Streets for People is improving their neighbourhood.
