The Labour @MayorofLondon has once again ignored our borough, and this ditching of the #Sutton tram extension is a kick in the teeth for our residents. @SuttonLibDems believe that the @GOVUK needs to step in. bit.ly/308EgIo
The tram would have unlocked access to jobs, housing and attracted new business and investment into the borough. Sutton has received less investment than any other borough in London despite having the worst public transport links.
Lib-Dem run @SuttonCouncil is developing ambitious major projects like the London Cancer Hub that is set to generate billions for the UK economy which the tram would have accelerated. It’s time that the @BorisJohnson honours the commitment he made when London Mayor...
and funds the Sutton tram extension directly so that we can deliver on the promises made to our residents over many years on the tram, as well as contributing to London’s economic recovery and accelerating the fight to beat cancer.

Update on Butter Hill/Mill Lane area LTN. The public consultation is now open: bit.ly/301G31M. For many years, residents living in the Butter Hill and Mill Lane area have contacted the council concerned with excessive and dangerous traffic using residential streets...
as a cut-through to avoid the main roads. Residents have complained of speeding, dangerous driving & long traffic queues. The narrow residential streets in the area were not designed to accommodate the current volume of traffic. According to traffic counts from 2017, Mill Lane...

Update on Sutton North #LTN launched on 14th September. We are trying to achieve the following: 1) Improve safety in the Grennell Road and Benhill Wood Road area by reducing traffic levels and speeds. 2) Reduce air pollution due to lower traffic numbers.
3) Make the area more pleasant and safer for children. 4) Reduce the number of non-resident vehicles cutting through the area. To achieve that we are trialling: 4 road closures to motor vehicles and 20mph speed limit in the North Sutton area.
These measures are in response to a residents survey in 2017, when you told us that you felt there was too much traffic in the area and a further consultation earlier this year on a 20mph speed limit. When the idea was recently proposed for the addition of a closure in...

THREAD - Browning Avenue area #LTN. Ahead of the launch on Monday 21st September hopefully this helps clarify a lot of the questions I have received about this scheme #LDNStreetSpace.
Firstly I appreciate that many are skeptical & don't think it will work. That's why this is a trial. I will be monitoring the situation and pushing for any adjustments when necessary, including lobbying for more money if needed.
It will take time for this scheme to bed in before residents see the full benefits but if it becomes clear that it doesn't work it will be removed. The public consultation page will be up once the scheme is in place.

Changes are now being made to improve the quality of life in Esher Avenue and Wrayfield Road and the surrounding roads. We are trialling the following changes: 1) Road closure of Esher Avenue at its junction with Wrayfield Road opposite the access to Fairlands Park.
Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to enter.

One resident told us that, despite initial reservations, he was now sold on the idea. After just a few days, he was impressed that children were already enjoying...

THREAD: Here’s my statement on low-traffic areas/school streets to the Strategy & Resources Committee on 14th September. bit.ly/35J5VTC #LTN #StreetspaceLDN
The key question Cllrs should ask themselves is the following: What type of residential areas do you want for Sutton? Are Cllrs happy to keep the status quo? In certain residential areas this means turning a blind eye to thousands of cars rat-running,...
...trying to save time on their journey, and pumping toxic fumes directly into people’s bedrooms. Every individual will look at their own circumstances but my role is to look at the bigger picture and at the interest of all local residents.
