Statutory consultation, 11 January 2024
We are planning to carry out works in Spencer Rd at its junction with Richmond Rd, as part of our pedestrian safety and accessibility improvements programme.
The measures will include improved pedestrian accessibility and safety, by building out both corners of Spencer Rd to narrow this extremely wide junction and to provide a pedestrian refuge island, thus helping to reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians and reduce vehicle entry speeds, particularly for those left turners into Spencer Rd. In addition, we will introduce some new trees.
What happens next
A Notice of the Council’s proposals to implement the above aspects of the project will be published in a local newspaper and the London Gazette. Notices will also be posted on lamp columns in the area.
Representations must be sent by either emailing trafficandhighways@merton.gov.uk or writing to Environment & Regeneration Department, Future Merton, Merton Civic Centre, London Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 5DX no later than 2 February 2024. Please quote reference ES/SPENCER-RICHMOND.
It is essential that your full name and postal address are provided within your representation, otherwise your representation may not be considered.
All representations along with Officers’ comments and recommendations will be presented in a report to the Cabinet Member for Housing, Regeneration and the Climate Emergency. Please note that responses to any representations received will not be made until the Cabinet Member makes a final decision. The Council is required to give weight to the nature and content of your representation and not necessarily the quantity. Your reasons are, therefore, important to us.
