Petition against Roehampton development reaches 500 signatures
January 12, 2024
The Save Toland Square action group is celebrating its petition to Wandsworth Council reaching 500 signatures.
The organisation, made up of people from an estate in Roehampton which the council wants to add more housing to, has been campaigning against the proposals since they were first revealed.
They want a rethink of the scheme which would see the development of the green space at the centre of the housing court. Garages and a community centre would also be removed with the latter being rebuilt close by.
There are only 200 or so residents in the estate so it is claimed that the landmark for the petition reflects strong local feeling across the Roehampton area about the plan and the group is calling on its local councillors as well as Wandsworth Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing, Aydin Dikerdem, to take concerns about the proposed development seriously.
