People concerned about the impact of the controversial proposed development of the Rainbow Industrial Estate in Raynes Park, can air their concerns at a public meeting on Monday night.
Wimbledon Liberal Democrats parliamentary spokesperson Shas Sheehan has organised the meet-up among fears the development will jeopardise road saftey in the area.
According to Ms Sheehan the new builds will not contribute to Merton Council's aim of 40 per cent affordable housing.
A proposed “kiss and ride” facility, where people can be dropped off by car before hopping on public transport, has led to fears a bottle neck will be created and traffic flow problems will be intensified.
Ms Sheehan has launched a petition to oppose the development, which can be viewed here: http://shassheehan.org.uk/en/petition/petition-to-oppose-current-plans-to-develop-the-rainbow-industrial-estate
Public Meeting: Rainbow Industrial Estate Development; Raynes Park Library, Approach Road, Raynes Park, Merton, SW20 8BA; Monday, January 26; 6.30pm to 8.00pm
