In October last year I wrote to all residents in Balfour and Cecil Roads about traffic problems and Merton Council's plan to consult on banning a left turn from Balfour Road into Merton Road. I encouraged residents to contact Cllr Martin Whelton to let him know their views on this plan - https://www.stephenhammond.net/news/balfour-and-cecil-roads-0
Since then I have met a number of local residents to discuss the issue as well as Chris Lee at Merton Council and many residents have got in touch directly with Cllr Whelton to express their views.
Following these representations I can report that Cllr Whelton has changed his mind and has decided not to proceed with a consultation on banning the left-turn from Balfour Road into Merton Road.
However, the traffic problems in Balfour and Cecil Roads still remain. Therefore, I have set up a survey for residents of both roads so I can gauge the views of residents on traffic calming measures and from this make representations to the Council on your behalf.
