Wallington public transport improvements - Update 16

Bus Shelters and Street Furniture arriving soon

The new bus shelters – one on each side of Woodcote Road – should arrive within the next week. Once they have been installed new Countdown displays will be fitted to show when buses are due. The new shelters were chosen by the Stakeholders Group and the choice of model has saved £10,000 - money that can now be spent elsewhere in Wallington.

New street furniture – also selected by the Stakeholder Group - will begin to arrive in the next few days as well. This will be positioned in a way that will discourage people from parking on the pavement. Parking enforcement will also be used to stop people parking where they shouldn’t.

CCTV installation
The new CCTV column is now in place near Barclays Bank. The old one will be disconected by Virgin Media next week and the new one will go live at the same time. The new CCTV column is taller and the camera will have a better view up and down the road and into the car park and rear of the Old Town Hall.
