Residents are being invited to put forward their views on a New Malden level crossing that could be closed by the arrival of Crossrail 2.

Kingston’s Liberal Democrats are asking residents to come forward with suggestions of how to redevelop the Elm Road level crossing, with the party asking how nearby Dickerage Road and New Malden High Street could cope with the extra traffic.

Possible outcomes according to the party’s consultation could include building of bridge or closing the crossing all together.

In a post online the party said: “If built according to proposals in last November’s public consultation, Crossrail 2 would increase the frequency of trains serving New Malden.

“Whilst increased frequency of trains is to be generally welcomed, there are sticking points that need to be resolved.”

Crossrail 2, which would see a £27 billion rail service linking the borough’s train stations, including in Chessington, to north London, was granted government approval in March.

Trains may begin running in 2033.
