Families in Tooting Bec are rejoicing after the council agreed to makeover a residential road.

The community services committee agreed to trees, traffic calming and cycle parking in Stapleton Road to take place this summer.

Joel Down, who lives in Stapleton Road, said: "I really welcome these improvements to our road, it will make Tooting Bec an even nicer place to live."

Tooting MP Sadiq Khan said: "Together with the 20mph speed limit we secured for the area, which will come into force in March, I know these measures will make a real difference to residents on the road."
