Roadworks in Combe Road New Malden

These roadwork’s are at the junction of Combe Road and Lime Grove in New Malden. They are being carried out by EDF Energy and are causing traffic congestion and pose a significant hazard to both drivers and pedestrians.

They have been in place since 2009 with no sign of them being completed in the near future. My concern is that English heritage may designate them of historic interest and make them permanent.

New Malden's air not clean enough, environmental survey says

Surrey Comet reports
Air pollution in New Malden is too high according to European Union targets, an environmental survey has revealed.

In 2009, the Maldens and Coombe neighbourhood committee commissioned an study into nitrogen dioxide levels in four locations in New Malden, three of which were above the acceptable level set down by a European Union Directive.

The Fountain Roundabout, A3 roundabout and Burlington Infant and Junior Schools were all found to exceed 40 particles per cubic metre.
