Among all the topics, there was once again a call for people to submit their views regarding the Clapham Junction redevelopment proposal.

We will ensure that the views of Northcote residents are properly represented when the application is discussed so please do let us know what you think of it.
It is important to remind everybody that there is an opportunity to let the Council know their concern and Councillors of Northcote ward are taking seriously the opinions of the local residents.
As we said previously, it is also very important that you make the most efforts to attend the meeting:
Date: Wednesday 20th May 2009 – 7.30pm (we advise you to come earlier, possibly 7-7.15pm)
Venue: Wandsworth Borough Council, The Town Hall, Wandsworth High Street, London SW18 2PU (more details how to get there on the website)
Read our previous article on recent planning rejections:
The towers are hideous and totally out of sympathy with the surrounding area. If the scheme goes ahead as planned the traffic congestion caused by the density of occupation and lack of parking facilities will cause enormous problems in an already busy area.
It is essential that something is done to improve access to the station especially for the disabled and elderly.
