LIBERAL DEMOCRATS IN SOUTHFIELDS
23rd October 2007
Overview
Southfields is located in the London Borough of Wandsworth, most famous for its tube station being the closest to the Wimbledon Tennis championship venue. Until the late 19th century, Southfields was still fields, situated between the more developed villages of Wimbledon and Putney.
When the District & London & South Western Railway from Wimbledon to Putney Bridge opened in June 1889, the area started to take off, with the first school opening a year later on Merton Road, one of the main thoroughfares that were formerly paths through fields.
The ward stretches up from the Shopping Centre of Southside in the north to Wimbledon Park in the south. In the centre, you will find four residential tower blocks, that represents most of the council-owned estates in this ward (and represents only about 10% of the housing in the ward).

Fantastic response to local Lib Dem survey!
Your local Liberal Democrat team sent out Residents’ Surveys to all 6,500 homes in the Southfields Ward.
We wanted to find out what really matters to local people so that we can help to get things done on your behalf.
We had a great response, and we would like to give a big thank you to everyone who took the time to fill in the form.
The local Lib Dem team will continue to call door-to-door over the next few months - so we hope to be able to speak to you soon! We really value your opinions.
To get in touch with the Lib Dem team, please email them at southfields@putney-libdems.org, or call the number in the contacts section.
Survey Results:
 Cycling on the pavements: Southfields residents are worried about the growing number of people cycling on the pavements.
Transport: Many people complained about the cost and lack of reliability of transport locally. Lib Dems are calling for cheap, reliable, and integrated transport for London.
Pavements!: The thing that annoys you the most is the dreadful state of our pavements! Many people complained that they are cracked, dirty, and dangerous. The Conservatives have had 28 years in power - it’s time for us to elect Councillors who will really speak up for our area! If elected on 4th May, the local Lib Dem team promises to do something about this problem - and quick!
Crime: Sadly, there is a growing fear of crime in this area. Liberal Democrats are calling for more police on our streets to tackle this problem.
Housing: Many people complained about the lack of affordable housing in Southfields. Liberal Democrats support schemes such as Shared Equity and the reclaiming of empty properties. This should be a major priority!
Parking: Many people complained that parking is too restrictive and too expensive. This needs to be addressed.
