BRIXTON CENTRAL SQUARE.
This is on the agenda again. Andre Znak confirmed that GLA architects are developing plans and there are two options.
1 to bring Brixton Hill buses up in front of the Fridge rather than round St. Matthews. The most radical option is to bring all buses
and cars up Brixton Hill and close Effra Road allowing the amalgamation of Tate Gardens Windrush Square and St. Matthes peace garden.

HERNE HILL ROAD JUNCTION.
Work has now started on the survey, thanks to seed funding of £10K#k from Andre Znak's TFL Lambeth borough budget, Val Shawcross was able to twist arms within London Buses to commission the study. Buses had last time around decided there was not enough benefits but now other proposals are being looked at to improve the bus flow, which is the key to funding.
