Southwark Council has allocated a £50,000 grant to Network Rail for exploring design options to upgrade Nunhead Station, making it fully accessible. The funding will be sourced from the community infrastructure levy, reflecting the council's commitment to enhancing public transport access in areas with limited facilities. Councillor Helen Dennis noted that Nunhead is particularly underserved, lacking a Tube station and having fewer bus routes. The council aims to complete feasibility studies that could help secure further government funding through the Access for All scheme, thereby improving connectivity for local residents.
Councillor Helen Dennis highlighted that Nunhead is one of the least accessible areas by public transport, indicating the need for improved access to the station.
Council leader Kieron Williams emphasized the importance of making Nunhead station fully accessible, stating that it plays a crucial role in enhancing local community connectivity.
