Proposals include a new library, retail parade and supermarket, GP surgery, community spaces and public realm improvements alongside plans for new homes and major repairs to some existing tower blocks.
The proposal includes plans to build up to 650 new homes on the Alton with 57% designated affordable homes, including family-sized homes prioritised for Alton residents facing overcrowding.
Wandsworth Council says development will be phased to do the work in the best order to reduce noise and disruption.
The ballot is open until the 16th of October for eligible residents living on the Alton and votes can be sent in by post, online or phone.
If residents vote ‘Yes’ for the new plans, the proposals will go ahead.
If residents vote ‘No’ there will be no big changes to the estate and the old homes will stay and the proposals outlined above will not go ahead. However the council says it will complete the other improvements happening as part of the initial Alton Renewal Plan.
For more information, drop into Danebury Avenue information stand (next to the new hoardings on the old Co-op building shown in the photo below) every Friday afternoon, from 2pm until 4pm.
Or email altonrenewal@wandsworth.gov.uk to talk to a council officer about the plans.
