As far as I understand the majority of residents on each road where it's being introduced, were in favour of its introduction. On Choumert Road I can already notice the positive difference - I'm able to park my car fairly near my house after a trip out. Until a few weeks ago I frequently had to drive around the block 3 times to find a space; or park on a different road as there were no spaces- I don't mind a few minutes walk but it's difficult with a toddler plus multiple bags from daytrips/ shopping.

Hi all - I live in Solomon's Passage. The rumours are true. Last week we were called to a meeting where we were shocked to hear that our homes were not fit for purpose and were to be destroyed. All residents of the 85 1/2/3-bed units are being asked to move out this year, while Wandle Housing Association demolish and rebuild 2 buildings, and gut and reconstruct 2 other buildings (there are 4 buildings in the development). The project is expected to last at least 5 years though we expect it to take longer. The problems are many and we have been told it includes problems with the roof, timber frame, walls, gas system, fire safety system, and lots more. In my building we're all devastated. We've built up friendships, raised children, started companies, got married and chopped with breakups, looked after pets for each other - all the things that make up life and community over years. I think everyone in the development would appreciate support. We are interested to hear from Southwark Council who signed off the building - they have said nothing to us so far. We are also concerned about the lack of regulation of Wandle Housing Association, a public body. And we have written to Harriet Harman for support. We are so sad about the destruction of the community we have built up here.
