A presentation to exhibit plans for the RACS building will take place over the next three Saturdays in September in Tooting.

The presentation, organised by the developers of the RACS building, aims to let Tooting know exactly what they have planned for the space, after their recent planning proposal to Wandsworth Council.

All are welcome to attend the events from 10am to 5pm on the 16th, 23rd and 30th of September. The first event, on the 16th, will take place at 1 Hebdon Road, SW17 7NP. The second and third events will take place at Jasmin’s, 202 Upper Tooting Rd, SW17 7TG, although this may be subject to change.
