Over the past two years there has been an increase in the number of delivery service-related mopeds occupying the parking bays between the station forecourt and No 11 Wimbledon Bridge which has resulted in a number of complaints about antisocial behaviour.

With the area being fully occupied at all times, it has been impossible for other road users to load and unload and to use the space to drop off and pick up. To address this problem, we intend to remove the existing free parking bays and introduce ‘At Any time’ waiting restrictions with Mon-Sat 7-10am and 4pm-7pm loading restrictions.

The statutory consultation will run between 20 October and 11 November 2022.      

 A Notice of our intention to introduce the new restrictions will be published in a local newspaper (Wimbledon and Wandsworth Times) and the London Gazette. Notices will also be posted on lamp columns in the vicinity. Representations against the proposals described in this Notice must be made no later than 11 November 2022. Please quote reference ES/Wimbridge/22. It is essential that your full name and postal address are provided within your representation.

Objections must relate only to the elements of the proposal that are subject to this statutory consultation and must be made by emailing trafficandhighways@merton.gov.uk or write to Future Merton, Merton Civic Centre, London Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5DX.

A response to any representation will not be made until a final decision is made by the Cabinet Member.

November 2022 update

Following the completion of the statutory consultation to introduce the new proposed restrictions, all feedback received has been reported to the Cabinet Member for Transport who has agreed to the implementation of the proposed changes.

The Traffic Management Order will be made on 24 November and will come into operation on 28 November 2022. The works will be implemented starting 28 November 2022.
