Context

This file contains a substantial typed report from Sir Frederick Snow and Partners, who have prepared it as supporting evidence for Wandsworth's objection to the GLDP.

It investigates the Primary Road Network proposals affecting Wandsworth. It includes plans of the broad pattern of roads in Wandsworth, but not the actual layout of the R2/A3/Clapham-Wandsworth Link interchange. It does, however, suggest in the text that there would be a junction, singular, "Between Ringway 2, link and A.3."

A plan is included showing "London Borough of Wandsworth Modified Primary Road Proposals", which is essentially the "save Battersea" scheme that seems to have gained no traction with GLC or Layfield. It diverts R1 WCR down Townmead Road and over, or adjacent to, Wandsworth Bridge to a new interchange with CW Link where the squareabout is. That seems to save Battersea at the expense of both Chelsea and Wandsworth - maybe that's why it didn't go far.
