More on West Putney low traffic neighbourhood

I have written to Steffi Sutters Cllr, cc Fleur Anderson MP, Ravi Govindia as well as Mr Nick O'Donnell, Assistant Director — Traffic and Engineering for Richmond and Wandsworth Councils. From the responses by Mr O'Donnell, it transpires that an area-wide traffic survey was carried out but only included the Dover House Road Estate.  A Mr Berry made a deputation on behalf of the Dover House Road Estate Residents Association at the  Strategic Planning and Transportation Overview and Scrutiny Committee held at the Town Hall, Wandsworth, SW18 2PU on Thursday, 6th February, 2020.  The documents can be found here: https://democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=678&MId=6482&Ver=4 You will see the relevant documents there, including the minutes of the meeting.  If you scroll down, you will find the documents produced. I am rather astounded that the area-wide traffic survey did not include information on neighbouring roads.  The minutes indicate that:  "The Committee considered the deputation from DHERA, the group were largely in agreement with the recommendations contained within the report, however it was felt that the response rates following the council’s period of consultation had not been as successful as it could have been. DHERA stated that they would like to collaborate with the council to support future consultations in a bid to increase responses." We did not receive a consultation on this exercise at all, I wonder if Roehampton High Street, Longwood Drive, Dover Park Drive, Genoa Avenue, Chartfield Avenue, Westleigh Avenue, Tildesley Road and Carslake Road residents did.

DHERA don't speak for me - bunch of NIMBYs.

Thank you Emma. Medfield Street, Treville Street and Ponsonby Road residents did not receive a notification to this effect. Saying that Dover House Road traffic emanates from the air and not from Medfield Street (plus some from Roehampton High Street) is like saying that the traffic on Putney High Street has nothing to do with cars leaving the A3 an using Putney Hill or traffic travelling north from Putney Bridge.

I’mSurprised as well because the last time this was announced I got in touch with the man in charge (can’t remember his name) and he told me that the reason it was being pulled was because they were going to look at West Putney as a wholeSo why did they pull it last time, doesn’t make senseAnyway, I’ve emailed the man in charge
