SAY NO TO THE LIVE BUS STAND PROPOSALS FOR THE CLAPHAM OLD TOWN SQUARE
MP Kate Hoey and a small group of residents have vigorously lobbyed TfL bosses for a LIVE bus station in the square in the heart of Clapham Old Town. This scheme would have involved up to six live bus stands with platforms, shelters, signage and commercial lighting, taking up the majority of the square and leaving the Old Town Square open to development as a transport hub.
UPDATE - TfL have now decided that will not be six live bus stands but that they prefer either four dead bus stands or four live bus stands. The choice now is very simple - four live bus stands and NO public space or four dead bus stands and a large public space. We support the plan for four dead bus stands and a public space.
ACTION REQUIRED - PLEASE GO TO THE PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS PAGE HERE ON THIS WEBSITE FOR DETAILS ON HOW YOU CAN HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
The Clapham Regeneration Project (formerly Clapham Gateway Project) began with Venn St and was due to stretch down to the Old Town to include a landscaped public square and 4 ‘waiting only’ bus stands (parked up). Details of this innovative project are here. It works logistically, aesthetically and is in tune with the community’s need for a smooth bus service. It’s TfL approved, funded and all ready to go.
The local community is unaware that this project is under threat.
We URGENTLY need you, the local community, our neighbours and local businesses to show support for the Clapham Regeneration Project. The plans implemented now will be in place for decades to come.
WE DISAGREE WITH THE PLANS FOR LIVE BUS STANDS AT CLAPHAM OLD TOWN AND WANT A SQUARE WHICH CREATES A COMMUNITY FOCAL POINT IN THE FORM OF A TOWN SQUARE, YET RETAINS THE SMOOTH RUNNING BUS SERVICE THAT IS VALUABLE TO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY.
