Re: TFL survey on the A24 cyclelane from Colliers Wood to Balham.

Thank you Goldhawk for reminding people about the TfL survey. We too are keen that residents tell TfL what they think about the cyclelane along Balham High Road - the impact on cyclists, bus users, businesses and local residents.

Re: Rats on Tooting Common

I too have seen more rats than normal on Tooting Common (and to a lesser extent on Wandsworth Common). I have asked Cllr Steffi Sutters and council officers for their advice. Here it is - and a sensible and measured approach I think:  Rats are particularly attracted to the Commons as they like wate...

Re: Wandsworth Recycling Bags

Have you tried your neighbours if you have a WhatsApp group for your road? 

Where are you in Balham? If close, I could do my dog-walk via you and drop a few on your doorstep if in dire need.

But your point is well made and we will organise another one at another time too. The police will be monitoring speed but we will also be able ...
