Further to the successful boroughwide 20mph implementation on residential roads, Wandsworth Council is now considering a selection of classified roads that are suitable for a 20mph speed limit.

Wandsworth are consulting residents and businesses for a 20mph speed limit on Northcote Road SW11, Bolingbroke Road SW11, Bellevue Road SW17, Rectory Lane SW17 and Silverthorne Road SW8. Wandsworth Council would like to know your views before deciding whether to proceed with implementing the proposal. Details on these consultations are available at https://tinyurl.com/20mph-consult

The closing date for the consultation is Friday 6 December

Recognition for the Tree Wardens

At the annual Wandsworth Council Civic Awards the wardens, an independent group of volunteers, won the new Environmental Category for their efforts to conserve, protect and improve the environment through the planting, care, nurture and cultivation of trees across Wandsworth. Our members include a number of the tree wardens and they are to be congratulated.
