Transport for London (TfL) is due to begin construction work this summer on a major new scheme to make A23 Streatham Hill safer and better for residents and those visiting the area.

It comes following reports that a person was hit by a train earlier today which led to an immediate investigation, National Rail said.

Lines have now reopened, as no evidence of the incident was found, but disruption is expected to last until 10pm.
