My Southfields survey

I grew up around Southfields - I lived just the other side of the Wandle; my first summer job was in the Arndale where my mum worked for over 30 years; I won my first school football medal in King George's Park.

Southfields will be one of the first parts of London to benefit directly from the 2012 Olympics. Plans are in the advanced design stage to add a passenger lift, ticket hall and generally upgrade the tube station ready for Olympic tennis at the All England Club. A fully accessible station will benefit Southfields far beyond 2012 and I know how long the area has waited for this work.

But there remain challenges. I'm really concerned about plans for massive overdevelopment in the Southfields ward. A new tower block above King George's Park is nearly finished. Skyscrapers of up to 42 storeys are planned for the Ram Brewery. Hardwick's Way and the 16-floor Cockpen House plan in Buckhold Road will add hundreds of people to the area. These plans threaten the area's character and set a precedent for future overdevelopment.

Southfields can be even better. Are there ways we can improve road safety throughout the grid? Find a way to prevent overdevelopment and the loss of garden space while enabling families to expand their homes? Crime is low, but where do you think improvements can be made?
