The Liberal Democrats have asked Lambeth Council to waive any fines from the first two days of Streatham’s new Low Traffic Neighbourhood after emergency Thames Water works closed down Leigham Road.

The new Streatham Wells Low-Traffic Neighbourhood became operational on Monday 23 October, which collided with unplanned Thames Water works that caused carnage on Leigham Court Road and Streatham High Road.

Thames Water is carrying out emergency works in Leigham Court Road, Streatham this week between the junction near Streatham Hill Station and Leigham Vale Road. It is expected that the work will continue until the end of the week.

Lambeth Council is monitoring Thames Water’s management of the works to minimise disruption and ensure they are completed as soon as possible. We are working to ensure people can still access Leigham Court Road while the repairs are ongoing.
