A drop-in event targeted at Clapham Junction's business community was held in Battersea Library to give locals a chance to informally meet the design team and ask any questions during this early stage of the project. 

The focus of Stage 1 is to overcome the challenges the station presents, such as overcrowding and passenger circulation issues. This would allow for future development potential of the station and wider area, to deliver a masterplan that unlocks benefits for the wider community.

Local people from across Battersea packed out a community hall to get council advice and speak to the Leader of Wandsworth Council at the latest in a series of open coffee mornings around the borough. Read more about it here.
