Major construction work on Colonel Talbot Road wrapped up for the season, marking another big step forward for southwest London. Earlier in November, there was a short four-day full road closure near 3637 Colonel Talbot Road while crews completed sewer servicing for the York development.

All this roadwork has been setting the stage for new growth, including an exciting new addition nearby — Forest Edge Commons, a mixed-use development from Westdell Development Corp. This project will bring a wide range of shopping and services to southwest London, something many Byron and Lambeth residents will appreciate having just a short drive away. “Westdell is Southwestern Ontario’s largest commercial developer, proudly based in London. After nearly 15 years navigating various municipal approvals, we’re thrilled to begin construction and bring new shopping options to residents of southwest London and nearby communities like Byron,” says Paul Kitson, Planner and Developer at Westdell Development Corp. “This project has faced many challenges over the years, but we’ve remained committed to building our community through
