Shock horror no thought given that an existing route should be maintained in some form. So i guess riding up a trunk road that is being upgraded is the correct thing. sorry to drivers as I ride up at 5mph, but rules is rules.

National Highways delivering the project.

We recognise that the closure of your usual route alongside the old A417 between Brockworth and the Air Balloon roundabout will have been disappointing and apologise for the frustration this has caused.

Unfortunately, the route along Dog Lane is currently being used for construction access and, for safety reasons, cannot be used by cyclists at this time. This restriction is in place to protect both the public and our workforce.

This closure will remain in place until Spring 2027, when the Cotswold Way crossing and the repurposed A417 are due to be completed. Once open, cyclists will benefit from a dedicated off-road route through the area.

When the route along Dog Lane reopens, it will connect to the Cotswold Way crossing at the top of Crickley Hill. Cyclists, walkers and horse riders will be able to safely cross the five lanes of traffic using the new bridge before continuing along the repurposed A417 to Nettleton Bottom

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

* Breaking news * To give drivers more green-light time and space around Putney High Street, the now Tory run Wandsworth Council want to remove bus stops, move the ped xing on Putney Bridge, and narrow pavements! Papers to WBC Transport Ctte 24/9/26: democracy.wandsworth.gov.uk/ieListDocume...

2. Executive Summary
2.1. This report presents an update on the Putney High Street public realm and
junction improvement works. There are further improvements to ease
congestion along the Putney Bridge corridor subject to approval. The most
prominent being relocation of the pedestrian crossing on Putney Bridge to
allow Lower Richmond Road to regain the green time currently assigned to
pedestrians on the bridge when there is a demand. Other potential
improvements include carriageway widening outside TK Maxx, and trialling
Weiss Road as a one-way street.

Lower Richmond Road bus stops
2.6. The Council has continuously lobbied TfL to relocate bus stop P by
approximately 40m (Westbound services, outside Kenilworth Court) and
relocate or remove bus stop Q (Eastbound services, opposite Kenilworth Court)
on a trial basis. Whilst TfL has agreed to trial the relocation of bus stop P and
found it to be effective, they have consistently rejected the Council’s request to
a trial at bus stop Q. To demonstrate local views regarding these two buses
stops on Lower Richmond Road, the Council will be consulting local residents
for their views for TfL’s further consideration.
