Results updated 17 Sep 2018

Thank you to all those who responded to the Bellevue Road consultation on proposed streetscape improvements.

The consultation received a majority support and has been approved for implementation by the Council’s Executive.

Construction will start during the week commencing 24th September 2018 and is expected to be completed within four months (weather permitting). During the Christmas and New Year period from 14th December until 7th January 2019 work will cease.

Whilst we aim to keep disruption to a minimum, to provide a safe working area it will be necessary to close Wiseton Road and Althorp Road respectively for 4 weeks. However, access to properties will be maintained at all times and a signed diversion route via Bellevue Road will be in place for the duration of the road closures.

If you have any comments regarding these works that you would like us to consider or you anticipate any particular problem that we may be able to help you with, please contact Fariba Kaviani on 020 8871 8188.

Overview

In September 2017 Wandsworth Council carried out a community engagement exercise requesting feeback on proposed streetscape improvements on Bellevue Road between its junctions with Trinity Road and St James’s Drive.
 
All elements of the proposals received a positive response (the results can be found attached at the bottom of the page) and we aim to implement the scheme later this year taking into account any comments as part of this formal consultation.
 
The scheme includes:
 
  • Resurfacing of the footway with York stone
  • Resurfacing shop forecourts, subject to owner agreement
  • Replace missing street trees and prevent future pavement damage by tree roots using root directors
  • Introducing blended crossing/ Copenhagen entry treatments on Wiseton Road/ Althorp Road at their junction with Bellevue Road
  • Install new cycle stands
  • Renew security anchors in the motorcycle parking bay
  • Refurbish and upgrade the lighting columns with embellishments and repainting
  • Remove or relocate obstructive street furniture

We have listened to all the feedback received from the initial consultation and we have revised the proposal where necessary.
 
The proposed entry treatments provide an informal crossing point for pedestrians by raising the carriageway level, making access easier for those with prams or in wheelchairs.
 
The change in carriageway material and the raised table aim to reduce vehicle speeds, reduce vehicle dominance and increase driver awareness of the presence of pedestrians. Following feedback, the proposals include a larger entry treatment and advisory signage to ensure that drivers are aware of the new feature.
 
More attractive cycle racks have been selected in liaison with your local ward
councillors following your feedback.
 
In addition to the improved appearance of lighting columns, which will be refurbished with embellishments and painting, the luminaires will be upgraded to LED as part of the borough wide relighting programme.

The proposed measures will enhance the environment for all road users and improve pedestrian safety and accessibility.
