LISTER
ON PUTNEY
Edward
Lister is the Leader of Wandsworth
Council and a member for Putney's
Thamesfield ward.
 New
school, new homes and a new-look park in 2003
The
year ahead will see landmark events like the 'relaunch' of
Battersea Park following its £10m restoration programme
and, in September, the opening of the brand new St Cecilia's
secondary school in Southfields.
April
will mark the start of an ambitious doorstep recycling campaign.
Every week, every householder will receive a single sack for
all their recyclable waste. The aim is to make Wandsworth
the recycling capital of London.
The
first of the new 'hidden homes' being built by the council
for local people on our housing estates will also come on
stream during the year while the new-look Southside shopping
centre in Wandsworth will, I am sure, continue to thrive under
its bold new direction.
Those
of us looking for a decent night's sleep might even dare to
hope for a ban on night flights from the European Court -
but anyone looking for a quiet spot on the roads would do
well to stay away from Ken Livingstone's congestion charge
boundary at Vauxhall.
Happy
New Year!
