Summer 2007: 

Tessa Jowell has reaffirmed her support for plans to improve the busy road junction close to Herne Hill Railway Station.

She commented: "I applaud this excellent example of an initiative by local people who, caring for their community and their environment, have come forward with proposals that will benefit not just Herne Hill but London more widely."

Tessa has been joined representatives from across the political spectrum who support the new scheme.

Further information on the plans can be found by clicking here for the Herne Hill Society website.
