Battersea

The council’s dedicated Home Ownership Team is hosting the Annual Affordable Housing Open Day on Thursday October 17, 2019 from 2pm to 8pm in the Civic Suite in Wandsworth High Street.

Council Leader Ravi Govindia has written to European residents based in Wandsworth to reassure them that, despite the uncertainty of Brexit, the council values their contribution to life in the borough and will do all it can to help them stay.

Just days after councillors backed plans to make it simpler and quicker for residents to request bike hangars, those requests can now be made via the council’s website.

Twenty hangars could be installed within the next six months

Local Councillor, Louise Calland, has been chosen as the candidate for the Merton and Wandsworth seat for the Greater London Assembly, a body that was created to hold the Mayor of London to account. Louise will be campaigning on issues that affect our lives in London every day.

Results of Air Quality Monitoring by Wandsworth Council are in and have shown a drop in harmful pollutants. In Nine Elms and on Lavender Hill, the number of days that levels of PM10 exceeded EU limits halved.

TfL are consulting on the removal of the much-used and popular No.19 bus route. Battersea residents desperately need this bus route to get across London and our Conservative team has collected thousands of signatures supporting our petition to save the No.19 bus.

Housing is a key issue for Battersea residents. Conservatives are leading the local effort to build more homes, support tenants, get people on or up the housing ladder and end rough sleeping.

Hundreds of local shops, cafés and other small High Street businesses are invited to apply for a third off their business rates.

Look out for this letter

Work is now underway on a major project to install new electric vehicle charging sockets in around 250 street lights across the borough.

People are being urged to take part in a public consultation on proposed new play facilities and landscaping improvements in Battersea’s Falcon Park.
