A new one-way system around Thurland Road and Old Jamaica Road came into force this week.
As Canon Gary Jenkins, vicar of St James’s, writes on his blog: “It all began when a child from St James’s school was hit by a car on their way home from school.
“Then school governors, councillors, and the traffic planners at Southwark put their heads together.
“Traffic flows and speeds were measured, residents were consulted about various options – and today it came into operation.”
