You might remember the lengths people had to go to in order to get the Wimbledon Chase railway bridge repainted.

During 2015/2016 we constantly hassled Merton Council about the state of the pavement under the bridge – as the pigeon-proofing wasn’t properly refitted after the repaint. In October last year, the Council eventually:

• Got an agreement from Network Rail that the right bird-proofing will be fitted under the bridge by May 2017;
• Agreed to clean the pavements under the bridge every week.

They didn’t do it every week but they did it more regularly than before,

And we’re very pleased to say that a few weeks ago we noticed that the new bird proofing had gone up under the bridge . . .

We’re sorry it took so long!
