Improving the Junction

The Battersea Society is part of a consortium led by the Clapham Junction Business Improvement District which is investigating ways to improve the environment for businesses, residents and all those who use the town centre. The project has received some initial funds from the Mayor’s High Streets for All Challlenge Fund. The first stage has been to gather perceptions and ideas from a range of people in workshops and walks around the Junction, and an initial report has been produced by The Glasshouse, who specialise in community-led urban design. The next stage is now getting under way to produce some specific proposals that aim to improve the connections between the distinct areas of the town centre: Lavender Hill, St John’s Hill, St John’s Road, Battersea Rise, and Northcote Road. And we hope to secure more funds from the Challenge Fund to put those proposals into effect
