Roehampton: make the council listen on Monday

The Leader of Wandsworth Council and the officers pushing through their unpopular plans for redevelopment of Roehampton will be at the Cornerstone (Roehampton Parish Hall) in Alton Road on Monday from 7.30pm.

I encourage all Roehampton residents to come along; especially the 304 who responded to my redevelopment survey.

As well as the redevelopment, other issues that may well come up are the Council's equally crazy plans for no right turns from Roehampton Lane and the idea to connect Roehampton buses with Barnes - a good idea in principle but with serious flaws in practice.

Why not also ask what planning the council has made for the huge amount of extra traffic down Roehampton Lane now the Queen Mary's Place development is starting to be occupied? Or why the Council has no strategy to safeguard the shops in Roehampton village? Or how the council intends to respond to increased parking stress on the Alton estate?

Roehampton also includes Putney Vale, Putney Heath and the Priory Lane area: so do come along - the Conservative Council only deigns to "listen to you" once a year, so make the most of it!
