We’ve just hit over 500 signatures on our campaign to Revive Mitcham Eastfields! Thank you to every single person who has supported so far — this proves how much people care about CR4 and want to see real, lasting change.


✅ More frequent trains (every 15 mins, not every 30)

✅ A better town centre with useful shops like Sainsbury’s

✅ Cleaner green spaces like Mitcham Common

✅ Serious attention to traffic issues at the level crossing

✅ Long-term transport thinking – like exploring a Tube extension


We’re now preparing to deliver the petition to Merton Council and local MPs.

But we’re not stopping here — help us get to 1,000!


🔔 We need your help. If you’d like to take the next step, please copy and send the email below to your councillors and MP. The more residents they hear from, the more seriously they’ll take it.
