Local community leaders are rallying against Wimbledon's expansion of the All England Club, fearing a decade of construction-related traffic and pollution that could severely impact children's safety. Despite the Deputy Mayor's belief that the expansion's benefits would outweigh the adverse effects, residents feel that the disruption will be detrimental. A community group is pursuing legal action against the development, while local school leaders express hesitation to oppose due to potential financial repercussions from the Club. Parents are urging Mayor Sadiq Khan to reconsider the environmental implications and prioritize children's welfare.
The nursery boss emphasized, 'The Mayor can't be waffling on about pollution... and then suddenly say this is OK, in a beautiful great family area.'
Local concern is palpable; one school governor remarked, 'I believe the expansion will lead to one of the worst traffic situations in recent memory.'
