Developers have plans to build a new village on Network Rail’s site at Knollys Goods yard off Knollys Road close to Cameron Place SW16 2HQ. They are giving local people a chance to see  their proposals between 11am and 3pm  on Saturday 2nd December at the Salvation Army, 248 Norwood Road SE27 0AW . Their ambitious plans include 500 homes at market rents, workspaces  and a new footbridge to Leigham Vale.

St Luke’s churchyard

IMG_9001Work has started on designing St Luke’s car park improvements . The works have to be done very carefully – removing the existing  tarmac and  making sure no graves are disturbed. Then a proper road base will be laid down as a foundation for the surface tarmac. Dropped kerbs on the churchyard driveways, off Knights Hill, are due to be installed at the same time.

This  is one of the last remaining improvements under funded by The Outer London Fund. Apparently Network Rail have relented and are considering installing one coloured panel under the bridge  near Tulse Hill station. See our post on May 9th 2014 for details.

Croxted Road Bridge

Engineers at Croxted Road bridge

Network Rail is carrying out important repairs to Croxted Road and Rosendale Road rail bridges this month. Both roads will be closed to traffic, in the immediate vicinity of the bridges, from Saturday 11th January. Works although dependent on the weather are scheduled to be completed and the roads re-opened late on Sunday 26th January.  The number 3 bus will divert via Burbage Road whilst Croxted Road is closed.

Apart from the weekend starting on the evening of Friday 17th January through to the morning of Monday 20th January pedestrians will still have access under the bridges whilst works are going on. Network Rail have arranged for a shuttle bus service during the weekend the bridges are closed to pedestrians.

These major works will cause disruption for much of January but will leave the bridges in  a safer condition for many years . The works also incorporate improvements: removal of the columns currently obstructing the pavement and sealing in the roof to stop pigeons roosting.

For further information please contact Network Rail 08457 114 141.

Canterbury Grove footbridge

Canterbury Grove Bridge

Labour Candidate Jane Pickard on the litter strewn bridge

Labour campaigner Jane Pickard was shocked at the state of the foot bridge over the railway at Canterbury Grove. The bridge hasn’t been swept during the bad weather and so the litter has turned into a soggy mush. So this week Jane met with one of the West Norwood Street Inspectors who promised to get the walkway of the bridge cleared up and all the litter removed from under the bridge steps.

Jane says: “The footbridge is a litter blackspot, especially the area underneath the steps. As a resident of Thurlby Road, I do use the bridge and will be checking to make sure it doesn’t get this bad again.”

Network Rail are responsible for clearing the litter beside the track using litter picking teams specially trained to work close to trains. The Labour Action team has asked for a litter pick to be done soon – before spring when the weeds will growing all over the litter.
