Peckham Rye Gyratory bus improvements

Southwark Council is working with Transport for London (TfL) to improve walking, cycling and public transport routes as part of Streets for People, our ambitious plan to improve the air we breathe and the way we travel in Southwark.

We have an opportunity to rethink the transport priorities on the Peckham Rye Gyratory from Rye Lane to East Dulwich Road. The scheme has TfL bus improvements funding to deliver

• Improved bus journey reliability
• Improved cycling and walking routes
• Reduce traffic on Peckham Rye (east) & on nearby school streets
• Improved road safety
• Provide public realm improvements

In our recent Streets for People surveys, you told us that you wanted less traffic, pavement improvements, decluttering, more trees and green spaces. We would like to hear from directly affected residents and businesses, to have the opportunity to feed in to the early scoping stages of the design for improving the gyratory area for all methods of transport. Please tell us what you like about the area, what you dislike about the area and what should be our priorities for the scheme?

Currently we are in early stages of designing the route and so are engaging early in the process with local residents to listen to their issues and ideas. There will be a full consultation later in the year when we will invite comments on a proposed outline design.
