I am pleased the Government has announced allocations of a £112 million Rough Sleeping Initiative fund to provide local support for those living on the streets.
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.
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.
I believe it would be helpful to set out the position on family reunion and unaccompanied refugee children. The Government remains resolutely committed to the principle of family reunion, as well as to supporting the most vulnerable children affected by the migration crisis.
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.
