Camberwell Green Consultation Response
Transport for London has published plans for changes to the junction at Camberwell Green. Full details and drawings can be found here.
Some of the proposals are genuinely useful. Much needed changes include: a new pedestrian crossing between Camberwell Passage and the Green, and the repositioning of the St Giles bus stop, setting it a few metres back from Vicarage Grove, to improve sight-lines.
But the plans offer far too little to improve safety.

Local Greens listening to residents' concerns about transport
‘Are you happy with the way you get around? Is there anything you’d like to change?’ Visitors to the ‘Travel Clinic’ at the Brunswick Park TRA fete in August got a free personalised calculation of their travel costs and tips about how to save money.
Eleanor said, ‘It was really interesting hearing people’s ideas at the fete. There are some great free or very cheap offers from community organisations and the council. Get in touch if you’d like one of our info packs!’
