Trolleybus in Ringstead Road

Cllr Jill Whitehead says: “Local residents have asked your Lib Dem councillors to take up bus stop concerns with Sutton Council and Transport for London (TFL).  The proposal requested by TFL to move the bus stops at the bottom of Ringstead Road has proved to be very controversial and was discussed at some length at the Carshalton & Clockhouse Local Committee held on 18th October 2011” .

Local Cllr. Hamish Pollock says: We are pleased that all the local committee agreed with many local residents’ objections and completely rejected the proposals to move the bus stops in Ringstead Road near the junction of Westmead Road.

Cllr. Alan Salter adds: “With the new development of flats at 229-245 Carshalton Road, building work is impacting on residents in Shorts Road with a number of complaints made about works traffic impeding travel.  These works have reduced the space at the bus stop on Carshalton Road for St Philomena’s School pupils. We have asked for the stop to be moved but we have been recently told that it is not feasible.”
