in the weeks and months ahead THE WANDSWORTH VOICE will be following very closely all media articles and council statements into the proposed re-routing of the road systems in and around the currently rather sad High Street.

Disruption there will be, whatever the scale and nature of the final scheme.

We must ensure that local residents’ views are heard throughout the process and are not summarily rejected by a series of council representatives and TfL folk whose minds are made up already.

Add to this, the never-ending growth and impact of the Nine Elms developments – those of us who like living here, and have done so for many, many years, need formal reassurance that in the twilight of our lives these ‘grands projets’ will not be a shocking blight on our brighter borough.
