Herne Hill Junction Regeneration: what our MP and councillors say
“I applaud this excellent example of an initiative by local people who, caring for their community and their environment, have come forward with proposals that will benefit not just Herne Hill but London more widely.”
Rt. Hon. Tessa Jowell MP
“I strongly support this scheme – it is the best opportunity for several decades to provide environmental improvements to the Herne Hill Area.”
Val Shawcross AM, London Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark
“I am very pleased that Southwark residents and Councillors have contributed to this project. It has my full support.”
Nick Stanton, Liberal Democrat Councillor, Leader of Southwark Council
“There is an overwhelming consensus in the community that something must be done to improve the Herne Hill junction which is currently, quite frankly, a nightmare for the thousands of people who use it every day, and which is damaging the viability of the whole area. We place the highest value on our parks and green spaces, and Brockwell Park is one of the jewels in South London’s crown. That’s why officers have worked hard on a solution that brings desperately overdue improvements, but at the same time minimises the impact on the park boundary, and in fact improves the appearance of the entrance, and pedestrian access.”
Cllr. Lib Peck, Cabinet Member for Environment and Culture at Lambeth Council
“These proposals will be a major step towards resolving the many problems that have plagued Herne Hill junction. They will benefit residents, businesses, shoppers, visitors and park users; and help the area’s long overdue regeneration.”
Jim Dickson, Labour Councillor, Herne Hill Ward
“I welcome the priority given to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport; as well as the pleasanter and safer access to Brockwell Park.”
Becca Thackray, Green Councillor, Herne Hill Ward
“I think the new plans are the best option for tackling the Junction’s problems; and they provide really exciting opportunities for regenerating the heart of Herne Hill. I strongly support them."
Nick Vineall, Conservative Councillor, Village Ward
“The scheme’s environmental and other improvements will stimulate the local economy to the benefit of all Herne Hill businesses and traders.”
Jim Davidson, Secretary, Herne Hill Traders’ Association
