Putney

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

A long-running campaign to open up a second passenger entrance at Putney Station has been given fresh impetus with Network Rail agreeing to carry out a feasibility study into the town hall’s proposals.

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.

Noise from an expanded Heathrow will inflict more misery in all parts of the borough with many areas set to experience significant annoyance from aircraft for the first time.  This will be most acute for communities in West Hill, Wimbledon Parkside, Southfields, Earlsfield and Tooting.

Wandsworth Council has appointed a Tenants’ Champion to speak up for people across the borough.

One of the borough’s most important historical landmarks - which some say was the cradle of English Parliamentary democracy – has been given new prominence thanks to a council funded heritage project.

Council leader Ravi Govindia repeats the case for a second entrance at Putney Station to Transport Secretary Chris Grayling.
