Through Cleaner Greener Safer from Southwark Council we asked for flower beds and drums in Greig Terrace to calm down traffic from e-scooters, e-bikes and mopeds. This traffic has increased a lot since the introduction of the Lower Traffic Neighbourhoods.
Almost as soon as the flower beds were installed (and before they were even planted!) the council decided to proceed with railings to make the area even safer. Fleming Road was raised by residents as another area of danger from e-bikes of all kinds. This continues to be a problem but has considerably improved since the installation of the railings and planters.
Unfortunately 2 of the purple drums were pushed over (they are very heavy - this was a deliberate act of vandalism). With the help of strong neighbours, the planters have been restored to their correct position and have been re-planted using TRA annual grant money. TRA money has also been used to put bark on the planters to keep them weed free.
If you are interested in helping with TRA gardening, do get in touch. We garden maybe every 2 or 3 months. It is very satisfying to make quick progress with a group of neighbours and we always have refreshments and a chance to socialise too.
