Our survey says...

Our survey conducted over Christmas revealed a clear favourite in terms of where respondents wanted the TRA to concentrate their efforts over the year ahead - improving the cut-through connecting Lorrimore Square to Lorrimore Road (including the small "lay-by" area right next to it).

Highlighted by residents as a generally grotty area with poor lighting, missing trees, broken/unsuitable paving and prone to flytipping - it's certainly a very deserving project for the TRA to take on.

A proposal has now been submitted to Cleaner, Greener, Safer at Southwark Council to fund the work - should the proposal be successful (results will be announced in around 6 - 8 weeks - fingers crossed...) we'll need your help, in consultation with the Council, to decide what improvements to make.

Currently the plan is to:

• Improve lighting


• Lay new paving


• Increase planting


• Add seating

But we're very much open to ideas, so please do get in touch!

Survey

Following the November AGM and December meetings, the TRA have decided to conduct a survey to narrow down the options for spending our cash from those suggested so far.

As yet we've not scoped out any of these options - our funds may, or may not, cover some of these ideas. As a result we're not using this survey to get to a definite result - instead, we'll collect your responses and report back to the TRA on the top few options which we will then investigate further (gathering costs etc).

The proposals, as they stand, are:

• Improving the cut through between Lorrimore Rd and Lorrimore Sq (opposite St Wilfrid's Church). The idea here was to brighten up the area by including a tree/s and possibly a bench, as well as resurfacing
• New bins for Lorrimore Square park
• Resurfacing of the tarmac throughout the park, in particular the ruined mosaic area
• New trees for Lorrimore Road
• New trees for Carter Street
• Collaboration with Penrose on the area leading to Walworth Rd. Although out of our TRA, this is an area that many residents pass through. As such, it was felt that clearing up this area (perhaps in collaboration with the TRA that covers Penrose Street) could be of benefit
• A natural (e.g. willow) gazebo in the centre of the park (where the current mosaic is located)

If I've missed anything, or you've had another idea, please e-mail me as soon as possible!

Please only complete the survey once per person. I will close the survey on New Years Day - get your responses in before then!
