Transport for London (TfL) are consulting on pedestrian improvements in Tooting town centre and would like your views.

Tooting town centre is a vibrant local centre with a strong retail and night time economy, but TfL believes the current street design could be improved for the many pedestrians who travel around the area.

TfL have been working with Wandsworth Council to develop a scheme to increase walking levels and reduce pedestrian casualties, using a wide-ranging set of pedestrian safety and urban realm improvements. The proposals would:

• Introduce continuous footways
• Introduce a 20mph speed limit through the area
• Aim to improve existing pedestrian crossings and introduce new ones
• Introduce a community space on Totterdown Street
• Change the turning priority at some side streets, including introducing a one-way system for Moffat Road and Hereward Road

TfL will be holding 3 drop-in sessions for residents to come and talk to them about the scheme and answer any questions: 

• Monday 12 November, 18.00-20.30, Tooting Market, 21-23 Tooting High Street, London SW17 OSN
• Wednesday 14 November, 09.00-17.00, United Reform Church, Rookstone Road, London SW17 9NQ
• Saturday 17 November, 10.00-16.00, Tooting Library, 75 Mitcham Road, London SW17 9PD

You can see the proposals in full and let them know your views at: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/roads/tooting-town-centre/. You can also request paper copies of all the consultation materials and a response form by emailing consultations@tfl.gov.uk, or writing to FREEPOST TFL CONSULTATIONS.
