Petition presented to make local junction safer

Greens  and local residents at City hall presenting the petition

We went up to City Hall this morning with Green London Assembly Member Darren Johnson, to present our petition to Transport for London, calling for the junction of Ambleside Avenue and Mitcham Lane to be made safe.

This is a long-running campaign, following three fatalities (the latest of which happened before Christmas) and numerous collisions there. 

There is a nursery right there on the junction and St Leonard's Primary School is a hundred yards away.

Thanks to the 850 local people who signed the petition online and on paper.  We collected signatures at Streatham Green market when we ran our Christmas street stall. Local shops also helped out as well as Tenderlinks Day Nursery.
