Wallington Station Access Scheme Stakeholder Consultation Meeting

This was a special consultation event to provide a more detailed briefing to representatives of local community associations about the proposed plans for changes to the Wallington Station forecourt area; the Lidl access into the station and nearby bus stops and transport routes. It was generally welcomed that the plans to move the bus stop closer to the bridge had been dropped following comments from residents during the exhibition in Wallington Library. Improvements around the Lidl entrance area were discussed. There was unanimous dissatisfaction amongst those present about the plans to move the pick up and drop off point away from the station entrance with fears that this would compromise pedestrian safety. This is a point which Cllr. Bailey & I have taken up to pursue with the scheme designers.
