During 2013/14 the number of people making claims against Southwark Council for damage caused to them by using Southwark Highways rocketed from 233 claims in 2012/13 to 299 in 2013/14. A huge 28% increase.

Sadly this isn’t an aberration. 2011/12 to 2012/13 it also increase from 187 to 233 claims. Another 25% increase.

This will be a lot of personal injuries and damage to property.

I’ve asked council officials what their plans are to reverse this worrying and dramatic trend.

Have you been injured by using Southwark’s roads?
