A spokesperson for Merton Council said: “A man has been charged by police on a number of counts relating to alleged disorder in the Abbey Road area.
“New traffic schemes often divide opinion, and the council welcomes healthy debate. However, the council has zero tolerance when it comes to actions that cross the line into criminal behaviour.
“The trial experimental traffic order in the Abbey Road area is the result of a petition by local residents who are concerned about traffic danger, pollution and noise caused by an increase in rat-running.
“The scheme will only remain in place if it is deemed to be successful, and that decision will take into account a range of views as well as traffic data on both the affected and surrounding roads.”
