Consultation text:

As part of the Council’s commitment to promote the uptake of active modes of travel, proposals have been developed to improve the pedestrian crossing facilities and the availability of cycle parking on Strand-on-the-Green, Chiswick.

Plans outlining the proposals can be found under "Consultation Plans" on the right hand side of this page and the main changes are summarised below:

  • Widening of the footways at the northern end of Strand-on-the-Green and the provision of a rain garden.
  • Implementation of pedestrian crossing points and tactile paving on Stand-on-the-Green and Spring Grove.
  • Vehicle access and drainage improvements to 2 Kew Road.
  • Repositioning of the parking bay on the western side. Please note that no parking spaces will be removed as a result of the proposals.
  • Implementation of approximately 26 new Sheffield style cycle stands at the northern end of Strand on the Green.
  • Implementation of approximately 19 new Sheffield style cycle stands adjacent to the river on Strand on the Green.

The proposed improvements will make it easier for pedestrians to cross Strand-on-the-Green and Spring Grove, particularly for people with mobility issues, visual impairments and who are elderly. The proposed additional cycle parking will provide formal places for cyclists to lock their cycles, which will reduce the obstructive locking of cycles to fences in the local area, particularly on Gtech Community Stadium match days. These proposals support the objectives set out in Council’s Transport Strategy to improve road safety, promote the use of active travel and improve local air quality.

As part of the design, we will be considering how we can improve the drainage of surface water from the footway towards the carriageway and into gullies as it has been reported that downstream surface water ingress has occurred into a residential dwelling during storm conditions.
