Southwark Council
@lb-southwark.bsky.social
A vibrant borough home to iconic landmarks, rich culture, green spaces, and a commitment to fairness, sustainability, and opportunity.
Southwark’s parks and green spaces are at the heart of our neighbourhoods
As our borough grows and changes, it’s important that local voices help guide how these spaces are improved
Please take some time to have your say and share your thoughts
