	Parks, commons and open spaces - Wandsworth Common (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Wandsworth Common is an important historic common, the remains of more extensive commonland which earlier went by a number of names including Battersea West Heath and Wandsworth East Heath.
		A Bill went through Parliament in July 1871, the Wandsworth Common Act, and the common was then transferred to a group of Conservators elected by inhabitants of Battersea and Wandsworth for a £250 annuity paid to Earl Spencer.
		In 1898 the Common became the responsibility of the new London County Council who in 1912 purchased an area of 20 acres of open land to extend the common.

		A common, in short, is a park on the wild side, proud of its history of rowdy rough trade.
		Wandsworth is a well-tended garden for the mainly white and wealthy.
		Clapham Common has always enjoyed a creative tension between the wealthy – who live on its fringes and who, in the eighteenth century, made attempts to annex hunks of the Common as their private domain – and the proles.

		In Wandsworth, there are three commonly-regarded Balham wards: this one (essentially Balham North), Bedford (Balham South) and Nightingale (Balham West).
		Balham has remained almost unchanged in the boundary changes; not least because there is little scope for change: half of its boundary comprises the borough boundary, a further third is the parliamentary constituency boundary between Battersea and Tooting.

		You ask in your comment today for the origin of the name, "The Scope", for the part of Wandsworth Common where the recent murder was committed.
		In 1852 a small segment of the Common at the end of Lyford Road was enclosed and the Rev. John Craig erected there a brick tower over 60ft high, from the top of which swung a cigar-shaped telescope, 70ft long with a two-foot object-glass, swivelling at its lower end on a small circular railway.

		Many say it is more obtrusive than an original proposal for a 10-storey block which was withdrawn in February, and argue the inclusion of only 39 parking spaces means the development's residents would have to park in nearby streets.
		There are also proposals to build a new road between East Hill and Wandsworth Common North Side to reduce traffic flows along Marcilly Road, which lies inside the conservation area.

		Most of Balham is in the London Borough of Wandsworth although a small portion of the London SW12 (Balham) Postcode area is actually within the London Borough of Lambeth, creating ambiguity over the extent of the neighbourhood.
		Balham is situated between four south London Commons, Clapham Common to the north, Wandsworth common to the west, Tooting Graveney Common to the south, and the adjoining Tooting Bec Common to the east - the latter two historically distinct areas are referred to by both Wandsworth council and most local people as Tooting Common.
		These give it a green feel and a distinct boundary that makes it stand out as a district in the area.
