Reclaim Our Roads!

Introduction

Roads are 80% of our urban space and our sense of well-being is closely linked to the environment around us.

Imagine your road without litter, slippery leaves, weeds or overgrown trees.
Imagine pavements without trip hazards, no potholes, no speeding traffic, and better air quality.
Imagine too that there are no blocked gullies and drains, no ponding or rivers of water running down your road. Imagine living at ease, without  road vibrations from large lorries shaking the foundations of your house.

That is ROaR's  vision for Merton:  clean, safe and green spaces for you and your family to enjoy a better quality of life.

Litter and decomposing leaves are depressing enough. However, the effect on our drainage system and the sub-structure of our roads is potentially far worse and more costly, especially as our climate changes and we face more frequent, heavy rain.

So the  'Reclaim Our Roads' campaign group has launched a plan of action for cleaner, safer, greener roads.

Together we can Reclaim Our Roads.
