Hi Greg,
Thank you for your comment, Southwark Council have published a Streets for People survey, I would be grateful if you could share your thoughts and ideas, click this link to access the survey https://engage.southwark.gov.uk/en-GB/projects/streets-for-people-london-bridge.
Widening the pavements on Bermondsey Street and expanding the green areas around the street. Thank you.
From "Emerging priorities for Borough and London Bridge"
Go to the project
Bermondsey Street is frequented by many people, local and visitors, so it would be great to widen the pavements and increase the green areas.

This is a great point. It applies across the neighbourhood, particularly in our narrow medieval streets where pavement widths are well below Southwark minimum standards and are becoming overwhelmed by the people in the hyper dense new tower block developments.
We must also ensure that pavement licenses do not narrow usable pavement widths below Southwark minimum standards either when granted or subsequently with enforcement. We must also be sensitive to the noise nuisance to residents and limit and enforce times of use.
