Beddington Gardens temporary closureOn 18 March Beddington Gardens will be closed to all vehicles for a few days to allow the new soakaway to be connected to the rainwater sewer. The junction with Woodcote Road will be reopened as soon as possible.
The soakaway will be the third to be added in the area close to the railway bridge – the others are in Railway Approach – and it will help avoid the kinds of flash flooding that we have had in Wallington ever since the road was lowered to allow double-decker buses along the road many years ago.
Joining up paving with Railway Approach
Paving work will start on the north west section of high street between the railway bridge and Lloyds Bank at the end of next week (around 17 March). The pavement is very narrow at the point that it goes under the bridge, so it will need to be closed to pedestrians for a couple days. Access to the station from each side of the bridge will remain open.
The work on this section of the high street will join up with work done around the station a year ago. The work is likely to take 3 to 4 weeks to comlete because the pavement is wider and there are more services to deal with.
New crossing
The new pedestrian crossing in Woodcote Road between HSBC and NatWest will open on 14 March. The audible alarm on the crossing will be installed later. So for now please take extra care if you have a sight impairment.
Bus shelters
The old bus shelters were removed this week by Transport for London. The new shelters have been ordered and they will be installed as soon as possible.
