The key proposed changes include:

  • A new Toucan crossing across Upper Richmond Road on the west side of Oakhill Road
  • Creating more space for cyclists and pedestrians on the eastern corner of Keswick Road - to link to the new toucan crossing and the existing shared space on the western corner of Oakhill Road
  • An existing signalised crossing across Upper Richmond Road would be relocated to the west from outside Wandsworth County Court to outside East Putney Station, to better align with where people want to cross the road
  • The pedestrian crossing east of Carlton Drive would be widened from 2.8 metres to 4 metres allowing more space for pedestrians and reduce the distance to cross
  • A new taxi rank would be installed outside East Putney Station, changing it from drop off only
  • We would widen existing pedestrian areas to provide more space on pavements
  • We would provide new cycle stands on the new footway build out outside 108 Upper Richmond Road
  • New trees and green areas to be installed

To make it possible to build these improvements it will be necessary to relocate and remove some existing loading and parking bays. These are on:

Keswick Road

  • The loading bay to be relocated from outside Millbrooke Court - Upper Richmond Road to Keswick Road. This will be 5.7 metres from permit resident holders or pay and display bays changed into a loading bay

Upper Richmond Road

  • Opposite the station underneath the railway bridge, a 21 metre loading bay to be removed
  • Outside 124 Upper Richmond Road, there is currently an existing 45 metre parking bay (hours 10:00 - 16:00 for 30 minutes) and we are proposing to reduce it to 37.7 metres to provide more space for pedestrians and change 12.3 metres of this into a new loading bay outside the shops
  • Outside 166 Upper Richmond Road, a 6 meter parking bay to be removed. This bay is next to an existing 9 metre parking bay and a 6.6 metre blue badge holder bay, which will be retained
  • Outside 89 Upper Richmond Road an existing 21 metre parking bay will have 12 metres removed and 6 metres of the bay to be retained for cycle hire maintenance only, with new planting and Sustainable Urban Drainage installed
  • An electric charging point opposite Oakhill Road will be relocated 15 metres east
  • We are also proposing to change a 10 metre bay outside 101-107 Upper Richmond Road to a blue badge holders bay

Delivering the full list of improvements is subject to third party funding contributions. Please let us know your thoughts about them now and we will update you on the progress we have made in securing the necessary funding once we have considered your feedback.

    The area around Oakhill Road and Keswick Road would be designated ‘shared space’ for walking and cycling. The signalised crossing would also be designated shared use for walking and cycling, therefore you can legally cycle on the footways and crossings without being required to dismount.

    Shared spaces for walking and cycling are commonly used in areas with lower pedestrian and cycle flows. It’s considered to be appropriate for cycles to use these areas without dismounting. Signage will be installed to inform people that some of the footways are shared use.

    PutneyTrrE asked 2 months ago

    Cyclists accessing the toucan crossing from Keswick Road to Oakhill Road would leave the carriageway on Oakhill Road via a proposed dropped kerb on the western side of the pavement on Keswick Road before the uncontrolled crossing. They would cross Keswick Road via the uncontrolled crossing and use the toucan crossing to cross Upper Richmond Road and re-join the carriageway via the uncontrolled crossing on the western side of Oakhill Road. From Oakhill Road to Keswick Road, cyclists on Oakhill Road would turn right on Woodlands Way and access the shared area via a dropped kerb next to the crossing on the southern side of Woodlands Way, use the toucan crossing to cross Upper Richmond Road and re join the carriageway via the uncontrolled crossing on eastern side of Oakhill Road. These routes will be supported with cycle route map type signs to guide cyclists.

    We are likely proposing that the crossing will have both audible and tactile facilities but the audible signal will be switched off between the hours of 11pm and 7am. These times can be changed if necessary and the volume can also be adjusted.

    We are still in consultation however and will be considering all the options.

  • Share Regarding the proposed road improvements around East Putney Station, please clarify the type of pedestrian crossing to be relocated to the west, from outside the court' to East Putney Station. I am very concerned about the noise that could constantly come from a bleeping signalised pedestrian crossing and would ask that a tactile indicator was used instead to aid any visually impaired users, especially between 11.00pm and 7.00am when less busy and nearby residents will be asleep. Given the proposed relocation will be very close to many flats, and between two other crossings, please confirm if the new pedestrian crossing will operate silently, if not 24/7 then during the night.

    We have taken this feedback and will report it to Network Rail who are responsible for maintaining the railway bridges.

    The access to the Putney Plaza car park will remain unchanged as part of these proposals. There may be minor delays to enter or exit when the signals are in use by pedestrians, or if there are other delays in the area.
