There are currently three sites in this area that are being developed for housing.

All three are on the 463 Bus route.

They are as follows:

  1. Rowan Road, on the site of the former Rowan Road High School. (I keep reading in your newspaper about the need to create more school places in Merton);
  2. Tamworth Lane/Cedars Avenue. (Formerly the Brenley Playing Fields. No shortage of recreation space then in Merton?);
  3. Mitcham Common, at the junction of Commonside East/Windmill Road (Whichever way you look at it, this site must have been "stolen" from the people of Mitcham).

I realise that there is a need for more housing, but question whether any of these sites will provide the very much needed "affordable/social housing for those in need in the London Borough of Merton.
