TORTUOUS, CLUTTERED, PUNISHING RESIDENTS The ‘TCPR’ scheme to the east of
Wandsworth Bridge Road has been a disaster. Over 10,000 people signed a
petition against it. The main petition for traffic reduction got only 263
signatures. H&F Council didn’t listen, but confirmed the scheme. When a large number of dissatisfied
residents attended a Council Meeting in 2020, the Chief Whip, Cllr Aherne,
moved to extend the meeting to midnight. Discussion of the traffic reduction
scheme was pushed well down the Agenda by including lengthy filler items such
as awards ceremonies that should really have been handled separately. Adding insult to injury, H&F
Council is pushing TCPR West. The
scheme promises to clutter our streets with cameras and signs galore, and
make driving complicated for our friends and visitors. (For camera map, click
here) Visitors from outside H&F will
most likely have to register each time they visit, with the prospect of fines
if they take a wrong turn or can’t get through to the RingGo system. The same
could happen to commercial visitors from outside H&F which can only drive
our costs up. Just who will benefit from the fines??? The same council that has messed up
our streets with road bumps, inflicted road-space wasting, bus blocking cycle lanes on Hammersmith and made driving
in Shepherds Bush into an assault course is hyping the madcap scheme. The
same council that doubled some parking charges to £6 an hour in the pandemic
when people’s minds were distracted The hyped TCPR West scheme also
threatens to make some traffic divert to New Kings Road, Fulham Palace Road
and Putney Bridge, making congestion in the borough worse elsewhere. Please sign the petition
against TCPR West – thousands already have. Tell your friends and get
them to do the same. WANT TO BE FINED FOR DRIVING AT 25 MPH?
