Have your say on Bramcote Park

Southwark Council is making plans to improve Bramcote Park and wants you to be involved.

In 2019 the council consulted on improvements to the public space around the Bonamy and Bramcote estate in South Bermondsey as part of the Liveable Neighbourhoods programme. This was called the B&B project.

Many of the responses to the consultation were specifically about Bramcote Park; saying it needs a lot of investment.

People said the play spaces need to be renewed and more needs to be done to tackle anti-social behaviour. They also highlighted the potential for more planting and greening and improvements to make the area safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Now the council wants your help to prepare a plan to improve the park.

The council will hold a number of events over the summer that will enable local residents to have their say on the designs for improvement and to help appoint a team to develop the designs and carry out the work.

You can also share your thoughts by completing a short survey online.

The council wants to commission innovative and inclusive designs that reflect the diverse communities that live and work in the area around the park, in keeping with its Southwark Stands Together values. It also wants to ensure the designs are high quality and will work with residents and the park’s landowners, Notting Hill Genesis and Optivo, to achieve this.

New London Architecture will help with the consultation and will help to run an open competition to appoint a design team to prepare a masterplan for the park. The winning design team will undertake further work with residents to develop their masterplan.

The plan will be prepared in 2022 and the works delivered in late 2022.

The works will be funded through money raised from local developments around Old Kent Road (Section 106 funds) as part of the wider programme of improvements in the area.

The consultation and online survey will run until 30 August 2021. Details of the consultation events will be published here when they become available.
