An overhaul of the Wandsworth one-way system and a Northern Line extension to Clapham Junction are just two of the ideas from the council's new transport vision.

Wandsworth Council has announced its proposals for how transport services should be improved across the borough but needs the help of residents and businesses.

Ideas include significant improvements to pedestrian and cycling facilities in all of the borough’s town centres, major road surface works and extending the Boris Bikes scheme.

Other plans include a ‘phase two’ extension of the Northern Line which would take the new underground tunnel beyond Battersea Power Station to Clapham Junction.

A redesign of the Wandsworth one way system, Crossrail 2, new cycle bridges across the Thames, new riverbus piers and major capacity upgrades to the Distinct Line, Northern Line and commuter rail services are part of the town hall’s vision.

The aim is to unearth new ideas for improving transport and to build support for major schemes like Crossrail 2, which could provide two new tube stops in the borough.

Councillor Russell King, the council's transport spokesman, said: "Residents and businesses have an intimate knowledge of our transport network and we want to draw out some of that expertise.

"It could be a local change you’re after like more cycle parking or a major upgrade like a new rail connection. We will look at every suggestion to see whether it’s something we can take forward with you."

A summary of the proposals is being publicised online at www.wandsworth.gov.uk/travelchoices.
