Hooray- council got reasonable response rate and 73% of respondents wanted bridge to be opened again. Looks like this is going happen - hooray!

In summary:

Short term recommendation: re-open Camberwell Grove bridge, with input from the

local community on improvements to the street environment.

Medium term recommendation: commission holistic study of the wider area, taking

into account community concerns and aspirations through continued engagement.

We envisage this will take three years. Although currently unfunded, we?ve had in

principle support from the mayors? walking and cycling commissioner to undertake a

wider area study. Future plans for the wider area will rely on securing such funding.

Still has to be voted on, but looks like common sense may prevail. Imagine, holistic study rather than knee jerk NIMBYism!
