TfL is proposing changes for Wandsworth Town's roads & we believe these plans don't match what residents want. Our engagement last year showed you wanted more greenery, connected walking & cycle routes & better public spaces. Read TfL’s consultation and tell them what you think.

🏠We’re taking enforcement action on a family-sized Tooting home used for unauthorised holiday lets. Investigators found online ads & short stays exceeded the permitted 90 nights. This meant the loss of a home, plus more noise & pressure on waste. orlo.uk/EMsDN
