I have had many emails, calls and letters from residents who are having problems with the Labour Council's new bin collection arrangements. 

As I said in my last update, Crossrail 2 are undertaking an “Independent Affordability Review" to examine ways of making the scheme more cost effective.

I am concerned that we still have not had sight of this review, or the timetable for the publication of the latest route proposals.

This week Merton Council has finally published the Masterplan for Wimbledon Town Centre, which you can find here along with details on how to respond to the consultation.

I have received the below update regarding the gas works in Grand Drive, Raynes Park. The Grand Drive/Southway junction will be closed until next Wednesday 10th October.

The final Boundary Commission proposals have been published today. I am delighted to say that in Wimbledon there has been no change from the revised proposals from October last year.

I recently met with Thameslink to discuss the recent timetable changes and the disruption caused to commuters.

The gas network in the Merton High Street area of South Wimbledon is being upgraded. 

This is part of a £418,000 investment to replace the old gas mains and services with new plastic pipe. 

I welcome today’s High Court judgement on the closure of Wimbledon Police Station as it continues to highlight this important issue and I thank all those involved for their efforts.

On Sunday 29th July the Ride London Cycle event will be passing through Wimbledon again.

This will mean large parts of Wimbledon Hill Road, Worple Road, Coombe Lane and Wimbledon Village will be effectively closed from 7am-7pm.

I spoke this morning with the Chief Executive of Crossrail 2.

At present, Crossrail 2 are undertaking an “Independent Affordability Review" to examine ways of making the scheme more affordable.
