E. Why not leave this issue to the established residents associations?

The logical boundary for any traffic scheme in East Hillside is the distributor roads which surround ourf residential streets.  It is the function of distributor roads to carry through traffic, whether London-wide traffic (as is the case with Wimbledon High Street, Wimbledon Hill Road and Alexandra Road), or Merton-wide traffic (as is the case with Church Road, Arthur Road and Leopold Road). In the case of East Hillside, no residents’ association exactly covered this area (there are believed to be at least four residents’ associations in East Hillside). Our Campaign, therefore provides the unity of purpose needed to get results. We do not seek to replace the residents associations: instead we offer them a mechanism for coming together on this vital single issue.
