Streets for People
Southwark Council's new Borough Action Plan, reviewed in November 2026, includes an aim to make the borough more green, potentially relating to urban street design.
Southwark Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee reviewed the new Borough Action Plan on 4 November 2026. This plan outlines the council's priorities and deliverables for the next four years, including an aim to make the borough more green.
While the committee's discussion primarily focused on the target for 500 affordable homes, the broader "green" objective within the plan could encompass strategies such as Streets for People, which focus on prioritising pedestrians and public spaces over vehicles in urban street design.
