Transport for London (TfL) has approved a sum of £550,000 for re-paving Putney High Street.

Earlier investment in 2007 made it possible to re-pave the southern end of the High Street, and this new funding will make it possible to start work on the northern end of the thoroughfare.

Due to the volume of traffic using the High Street and its designation as a TfL road, work will be carried out at night and is expected to be completed this summer.

Following pressure from councillors, the Deodar Road footway has been re-paved thanks to special funding secured from TfL for green routes in London.

The road forms part of the riverside walk between Putney Wharf and Wandsworth Park and is located on the Putney sculpture trail.
