Peckham Residents' Network

The network has grown out of the Bellenden Residents' Group work on town centre issues:

• the state of Rye Lane and Peckham Rye station.
• the UDP (Unitary Development Plan) on Peckham town centre.
• the discovery of the plans to demolish and close off a large site for the tram depot.
• the preparations for developing the Peckham Area Action Plan (PAAP).

The network helps residents:

• to keep in touch with each other over town centre & other local issues,
• to become well informed to have a real effect on the improvement of Peckham,
• by using email, workshops and newsletters,
• by pioneering new ways for residents to engage with the council and others.

New ways of engaging:

• Rye Lane & Station Action Group (RLSAG) for real and visible improvements,
• Peckham Rye Working Group for an integrated plan for Peckham Rye Common North,
• Peckham Vision - residents, artists & traders - for an integrated Peckham town centre,
• Community Council Tram Working Group, on the tram route & tram depot location,
• emerging topics include rail services, car parking, safety, community cohesion.
