Wandsworth High Street SW 18 between Buckhold Road and West Hill

Transport for London Ref: 2001/LN40435/01 Received 28 April 2007

Proposed changes to loading and parking bays and bus lane in Wansworth High Street.

The proposals include:
- Partial recessing of bays into footway outside Nos. 102/104, 118/126, 131/135 and All Saints' Church.
- Removing the restrictions on parking in these bays bays at peak times.
- Reduction in the operational hours of the loading bay outside No. 111/115 to 10 am to 1 pm Monday to Saturday.
- Recessing the disabled parking bay outside No's 125/127. Removing the restrictions on parking at peak times.
- Extending the operational hours of the bus lane between Wandsworth plain and West Hill to operate at all times.

We would certainly support the extension in bus lane operating hours.

The changes to parking bays raise a number of issues and could result in both improvements and determents in conditions for cyclists and other non-motorised road users. WCC would likely wish to respond in some detail following a site visit by our members. This will be arranged through the WCC e-mail discussion group over the following week or so. Please contact me or leave a comment here if you would like to be involved.

Deadline for response: 18 May 2007
