Wythburn Place
We have asked the Street Lighting Team for an update on the plans to add an extra street light to the Mews to deter the regular anti-social behavior that takes place here. The Street Lighting Team say:
“Wythburn Place is part of 2021/22 planned preventative maintenance programme, so additional lighting will be assessed and installed within this period, this however depends on how quick wayleaves can be agreed with property owners for the installation of additional lights.”
Gloucester Place/George Street
We are pleased that, after a long campaign by local residents, the Highways Team has told us “that the signal design to provide green man crossings on all arms of Gloucester Place/George Street junction has been completed by TfL. The works are programmed to start on site on 22nd February 2021 and will take 3-4 weeks to complete.”
Wendover Court, Chiltern Street
Did you know?
Wendover Court was originally called Wendover Buildings, and was constructed between 1890 and 1900 by the Artizans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company (also known as the Artizans Company), a philanthropic organisation which specialised in building for the working class. In order to offer the flats at the lowest possible rent, the company built them without bathrooms but with shared washing areas on each floor.Between 1955 and 1965 the flats were converted into self-contained dwellings.
