Rye Lane - temporary closure

2 July 2020

Rye Lane will be closed from 6 July to allow more space for social distancing for shoppers, cyclists and pedestrians, and to ensure the works around Peckham Rye station can be carried out safely at the same time.

We have already installed a temporary footway between Holly Grove and Blenheim Grove to provide more space for pedestrians. Now that more shops are opening, there is an urgent need to increase the widths of footways, too. The safest way to do this is to remove all vehicle traffic by closing Rye Lane between Copeland Road and Hanover Park.

To help local retailers we will install loading bays on Bournemouth Road and Cerise Road to enable deliveries to be wheeled in by trolley to Rye Lane.

The closure will start on Monday 6 July 2020 and will be reviewed and monitored on a regular basis. If you have any questions please contact highways@southwark.gov.uk
