The** Connect2 project in South Bermondsey** has hit yet another stumbling block with Network Rail (and to a lesser extent Thameslink). The whole project is in jeopardy because of these complications.
This project, championed by Barry Mason, will have a favourable impact upon local residents, pedestrians and cyclists.
On Monday, an emergency steering group meeting was held at the council HQ (between Sustrans, Southwark Cyclists, [FONT=Arial] Southwark Living Streets, [/FONT]Barrie Hargrove, Council officers, local Councillors) where it was decided that an on-site demonstration should take place on** Saturday 11 Feb at 10am at the bridge **(in parallel with stern letters, press releases, fliers and hopefully a meeting with the council leader + chief exec of Network Rail between now and then) to try to get this latest decision revoked and to find a satisfactory solution.
**Please do come to this demonstration on 11 Feb and spread the word! It's crucial we have a good turn out.
