Informal Consultation - 18 April 2008

Merton Council is proposing to introduce cycle facilities in Bishopsford Road as part of the development of the London Cycle Network, funded by Transport for London.

This proposal is part of the proposed 900km of London wide cycle routes and is proposed to make it easier, safer and more convenient for cyclist to use Bishopsford Road which forms part of the London wide network. The development of the cycle network is intended to increase peoples’ choice of realistic and affordable forms of transport.

The scheme proposals fall into two key components:

  • Cycle facilities along Bishopsford Road from Seddon Road to the Wandle Bridge
  • New Pedestrian / Cycle bridge across the River Wandle.

Let us know your views

Before proceeding further the Council would like your views on the proposals.

The decision on whether or not to proceed with the next step, which would involve a formal consultation on the proposals, will be subject to the responses received during this consultation.

The consultation period for this scheme closed on Friday 16 May 2008.

Please note: In view of the large number of responses received during public consultation exercises it will not be possible to reply individually to each respondent.

What happens next?

The results of the consultation exercise will be reported to the Council’s Street Management Advisory Committee along with the views and recommendations of Council officers, after which a final decision will be made by the Cabinet Member for Environment and Street Management. As soon as a decision has been made you will be informed accordingly via a newsletter.
