Wallington Station access to get face lift

Councillors on the Beddington & Wallington Local Committee agree a number of improvements to the area around Wallington Station last night.

The works include new dropping off arrangements outside the station, new cycle storage and planting and also provide much needed lighting improvements and a raised pedestrian crossing in Ross Parade, changes to loading and unloading bays in the town centre and a safer bus stop near Café Nerro as a result

The works which will be paid for from local people’s contributions to Transport for London (TfL) and will cost more than £600k.

Traffic Lights Upgraded – at last

After years of chasing TfL the traffic lights in Woodcote Road are going to be linked together to allow traffic to move though the town more efficiently at long last. Every council in London has to use TfL to make changes to traffic light phasing and they don’t do many each year. I have been pressing TfL on this for 4 years so it is a relief to have it on their programme at long last. Hopefully air quality in the town centre will improve if fewer cars are queuing.
