Need to know... Things couldn’t be busier at Southwark Council this summer and we’ve got lots of news to share. Here are some of the top titbits we’ve gathered together for you.
Help us improve women’s safety All women have the right to feel safe. We want to hear the experiences of women in Southwark, to understand how safe they feel living, working and travelling through the borough. Understanding your experiences will help us take the right steps to improve the safety of all women in our borough. Please share your views by completing a confidential survey at www.southwark.gov.uk/womenssafetysurvey by Friday 25 June, 2021.
