Issue - meetings

Councillor Wesley Harcourt stated that this had always been a difficult crossing for pedestrians and TfL had continuously resisted any improvements. Following consultation 92% of respondents were in favour of the proposal.

Councillor Steve Hamilton expressed his concerns that this report did not address a traffic light issue at Carnwath Road. Nick Austin, Director for Environmental Health, stated that due consideration was given to the area but he would look into it.

RESOLVED:

1.    To implement the pedestrian crossing phases at the Wandsworth Bridge Road/Carnwath Road/Townmead Road junction as described in Section 5 below.

2.    To monitor the effects of the scheme when it is in place and work with TfL and the London Borough of Wandsworth to introduce measures which would mitigate any adverse effects.

3.    To note that funding for the implementation of the proposal, at an estimated cost £140,000, is available from Section 106 money provided by Thames Tideway.
