St Marys Junction

I wrote to Daniel Hamilton Cabinet Member for Transport & Wandsworth Councillor, re the following questions about the St mary's junction: 1.  Opening up all options for fixing the junction — including, if the evidence supports it, a complete redesign of the scheme.2. Open a formal consultation with residents on what should happen next, including the possibility of starting again.3. Ensure the junction is on the agenda at every Transport O&S Committee meeting, as you committed to in February.The reply: 'As you can imagine, I am receiving an exceptionally high volume of messages from residents regarding the ongoing traffic situation in Putney.  This shows the strength of feeling among residents and the need for the council to act on this topic. As you mention, I have met with the Putney Action Group and other groups of residents, who have shared their views on changes they would like to see to the junction, as well as other traffic hotspots locally.I am continuing to meet with officers and councillors to examine options to resolve this situation and will shortly be in a position to provide more clarity on this.  I appreciate that this does not meet your request for a clear date but please be assured that I wish to see this advanced as fast as residents do. I am copying the Chairman of the Transport Committee, @Zarah Wiles (Cllr), who will be working with me to shape the agenda for its forthcoming meetings.  I can give you a clear commitment that Putney issues will be on the agenda and receive appropriate attention.'
