HERNE HILL street "Walkabout" -- (SOUTHWARK side)
The recent "Walkabout" on the Southwark side of the streets called Herne Hill and Norwood Road was organised by Steve Rodgers of the Southwark Streets Action Team/ The group walked from the junction of Herne Hill and Frankfurt Road southwards, ending up at the junction of Norwood and Croxted Roads.
There was a very good attendance of Village Ward Councillors, members of the Action Team, Officers of the Herne Hill Forum and Herne Hill Society, the local Police Beat Officer and Wardens, local shopkeepers and residents.
Almost 75 defects were identified and included the following:
+ many cracked and uneven paving stones / damaged railings
+ wobbly and damaged posts on street corners
+ unclear parking and loading bay signs (no reference also to Bank Holiday parking)
+ pigeon droppings (halfway down Herne Hill at the bus stop)
+ lack of parking and loading bays for the Carlton Parade shops
+ damaged and cracked main road surface (referred to Lambeth Council)
+ confusing and absent parking signs in Norwood Road
+ parking times in Norwood Road unhelpful to shops
+ one bay in Norwood Road covers the left filter sign
All the defects have been logged on a spreadsheet, complete with action points and time scale. More in due course.
Meanwhile: well done Southwark
