Earlier this week I visited the South Wimbledon junction with Cllr Nigel Benbow and local residents to inspect the gas works with reprsentatives from SGN. 

Please see below a statement from the Department for Transport regarding South Western Railway's finances.

Many residents in the South Wimbledon area have contacted me and Cllr Nigel Benbow to express their frustration about the way the gas works are being managed. There are also worries from Pelham Primary School parents about air quality which I have raised.

On Monday I discussed the proposed redevelopment at Wimbledon Chase Station with the developers and their agents. The key issues are accessibility and the height of the proposed building. Along with many local people I am concerned that the redevelopment will not have improved access.

I am looking carefully at these proposals on how to use the £500 investment in the Epsom and St Helier Trust, and I would encourage everyone interested to do the same and respond to the consultation.

Debenhams in Wimbledon will sadly close on Sunday 19th January.

I have been in touch with Love Wimbledon, and we are working together to try to find out from the landlord the plans for the Debenhams site.

In 2017 the Labour Mayor of London announced his plans to close Wimbledon Police Station.

UPDATE - Latest Response from Merton Council - 23/12

Merton Conservatives and I have long made the case that the planning application for 456 new flats on part of the Tesco site on Burlington Road is a serious over-development and wholly inappropriate for the local area.

It is an incredible honour to be re-elected to serve as the Member of Parliament for Wimbledon once again. Thank you for putting your trust in me.
