This consultation includes the following proposals for walking, cycling and greening, The drawings suggest that the scope is between Fawley Road and Cleve Road
- Cycling
- Contraflow cycle lane on Hemstal Road between West End Lane and Hilltop Road: a positively pathetic offering considering that Hemstal Road is one way to Kingsgate Road – access is needed to Kingsgate Junior school and Kilburn Grange Park.
- Adding cycle early release signals (text doesn’t say where and not shown on drawing) Comment: presumably at Iverson, Broadhurst and Cleve Roads. But they are not much use without ASLs.
- “We would also like to add Advanced Stop Lines at junctions with signals”. On the drawing the only new one appears to be at Iverson Road on the western approach (the one on the southern approach is maked to be removed). The WEL approaches to Broadhurst Gardens already have ASLs. Cleve Road: all approaches already have ASLs
- Walking
- Widening signalised pedestrian crossings – to 4m on southern side of the Iverson Road junction and all arms at Cleve Road; and to 4m on the crossing by the Overground Station but apparently not the one north of Iverson Road.
- Adding continuous pavements; the only ones visible on the drawing are at Hemstal Road and Sheriff Road
- Walking and cycling
- New double yellow lines and double yellow blips at all junctions between Fawley Road and Cleve Road
- Greening
- New mini parks with wildflowers, trees and seating at the West End Lane junctions with Hemstal Road and Sherriff Road
- Other
- A right-turn waiting space for vehicles turning into Iverson Road
- Optimising the traffic signal timings and coordination between junctions and pedestrian crossings.
- Loading bays for Sainsbury and Tesco on the south side of two side roads (Fawley Road and Lymington Road); concern that routes taken by the lorries should avoid moves such as turning right into gtheside roads or reversing into WEL

CCC’s Response
To be written: but will make the case for contraflow cycling along Hemstal Road as far as Kingsgate Road; push for the extra ASL and support the addition of early release, the dyls and blips close to junctions, the continuous footways and the greening.
