We want businesses in our local area to succeed and grow.

Stop South Western Railway Cuts

South Western Railway propose to cut services to many stations in our Borough, including Motspur Park, Raynes Park and Wimbledon. At a time when we should be encouraging more people onto the railways, we’re appalled by the Department of Transport’s insistence on reducing services as a cost cutting measure.

Electric Vehicle Charging in Merton

Many residents across Merton rely on on-street parking. We are calling on Merton council to improve charging provision for electric vehicles across Merton.
