SAVE NUNHEAD ❤️ Keep Our Streets Safe and Our Businesses Thriving

Recent signers:
Barry Poulton and 11 others have signed recently.

The Issue

📝 Customers, Businesses, Residents and Transport Providers — we are all affected.

The proposed street changes include:

-Removal of short-stay parking bays (to be replaced with loading bays)

-Widened pavements

-A build-out around the existing tree

-Possible installation of new bollards

-Alterations to dropped kerbs and tactile paving

While these changes are described as improving pedestrian movement, we want to stress that we only support the relocation of the zebra crossing and cycle bays. The other proposed measures do not genuinely improve pedestrian safety and instead create serious risks and negative consequences for our local community and economy.

Take a look at the Southwark Council Proposals Southwark Council Proposals.

If these additional plans go ahead:

-Pedestrian and driver safety will be compromised due to restricted visibility and limited access.
-Transport links and delivery access for public services and emergency vehicles will become more difficult.
-Residents, customers, and long-standing local businesses will face reduced parking.  
-Businesses will struggle with fewer customers and disrupted access.
-Vehicle movements will be constrained, leading to blocked junctions, pedestrian conflict and accidents during turning manoeuvres.

We all value a safer, more accessible neighbourhood — but these proposed designs (beyond the zebra crossing and cycle bays) do not achieve that goal. Instead, they will damage the existing balance that keeps our local area thriving.

👉 Please join us in standing up for our community.

Sign this petition to ask the council to reconsider these changes and work with residents, businesses and transport providers to find a safer, fairer solution for everyone.

💪Together, we can protect our streets, our livelihoods and our community.

The Council’s engagement has not adequately included business customers or delivery users, despite being directly affected.

✍️ What We’re Asking For

  1. The consultation period be extended beyond 9 November
    → to allow sufficient time for all affected residents, traders, and transport providers to review the proposals and provide meaningful feedback.
  2. An on-site walkabout meeting be held
    → so that council officers, local businesses, residents, and transport operators can discuss the proposals together and explore safer, more balanced alternatives that meet everyone’s needs.
  3. An impact assessment be published
    → showing how the proposed changes will affect accessibility, parking, deliveries, public safety, and local businesses.
  4. The council works collaboratively with the community
    → to co-design a solution that genuinely improves pedestrian movement without harming local access or livelihoods.
