Cllr. Alan Salter says: “Enterprise Mouchel, on behalf of Transport for London (TFL), is carrying out a series of highway safety improvement works along the A232 Carshalton Road. The next part of the work is being carried out at the junction with Langley Park Road, Sutton and is expected to be completed within three weeks. This work is being done prior to resurfacing this section of Carshalton Road, scheduled for later in the year.”

Cllr. Jill Whitehead says: “The work involves: The removal of the existing traffic island and construction of a new pedestrian refuge; New dropped crossing points and paving and Widening of the footway on the west (B&Q) side of the junction, to enable the give-way line in Langley Park Road to be brought forward. The work will be carried out in two phases: Phase 1, which is expected to take up to six days, will require the closure of Langley Park Road at the junction with Carshalton Road. Phase 2, which is expected to take up to six days, will require a no-entry from Carshalton Road into Langley Park Road, but traffic will be permitted to exit from Langley Park Road. During this phase, pedestrians will be requested to cross away from the works at the pelican crossing near Lind Road and the traffic signals at Manor Park Road.”

Cllr. Hamish Pollock says: “The closures will be in place on weekdays from 09.30 to 15.00hrs. Traffic, including the S3 bus route, will be directed to use alternative routes. Diversion routes will be clearly signed. TFL is firmly committed to minimising disruption to traffic and all stakeholders, including the London Borough of Sutton, have been consulted and support our coordinated approach. TFL apologise in advance for any inconvenience that these essential works may cause.
