Council to make Northfields and Point Pleasant a 20mph zone

The Council is planning on spending £97,000 turning Northfields and Point Pleasant, near Wandsworth Park, into 20 mph zones.

These two streets represent the edge of the Riverside Quarter; a development of - so far - around 600 homes and some retail and business space too. As a result of the extra traffic this development is generating, the Council is proposing the new speed controls in order to keep the area pleasant and safe for pedestrians.

The plans are going before the relevant council committee on Thursday - you can read the report on this scheme here.
