Merton Council


Extending Tramlink from Wimbledon to Sutton via Morden

Description: The London Boroughs of Sutton and Merton are working together to progress a possible extension of the Tramlink network from Wimbledon to Sutton town centre via Morden.
We are keen to hear your views about this proposal, so OPM Group is carrying out a consultation on our behalf until Sunday 17 August 2014. The responses to the consultation will be shared with Transport for London and will help to inform a decision about what should happen next.
We are inviting all stakeholders and members of the public who would like to comment on the proposed Tramlink extension to submit their feedback by 17 August 2014
Summary of results: 
In July and August 2014, Merton and Sutton Councils asked residents businesses and others what they thought of a proposed new Tramlink which would run between the existing tram stop at Morden Road via Morden town centre, St Helier Avenue and on to Sutton town centre.
Over 10,000 responses were received and the majority of respondents were in favour. The consultation reports were given to Transport for London to encourage the Mayor of London's support for the scheme.

Outcome: The Mayor of London may decide to support further feasibility work to explore the potential for a Morden-Sutton Tramlink in more detail from 2015-16 onwards. If this happens, there would be further consultation on the details of the scheme once the feasibility work was completed
Consultation start date 21 July 2014
Consultation end date 17 August 2014
