Labour regained control of Wandsworth council, marking a significant political shift in London with a 3.3% swing from Conservatives.
The national rail bridge that spans Balham High Road, next to Balham station, has been given a deep clean and a new lighting scheme to improve its appearance. The bridge is the latest to benefit from Wandsworth Council's £2m schedule of improvements to rail bridges and underpasses, which is being funded by its contributions from local property developers.
Wandsworth Council's growth plan aims to build over 14,000 new homes in the borough within the next decade, covering areas like Battersea, Nine Elms, Clapham Junction, and Wandsworth Town.
