Kingston Cycling Campaign (KCC)
Kingston Cycling Campaign (KCC) has raised objections to the layout and operational hours of the Ewell Road cycle lane loading bay, which the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee made permanent in March 2026.
In March 2026, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee voted to make the Experimental Traffic Management Order (ETMO) for the Ewell Road cycle route permanent, despite objections from the Kingston Cycling Campaign (KCC) and six individual respondents. KCC's objections concerned the loading bay's layout and operational hours outside numbers 140-142 Ewell Road, particularly its obstruction of the cycle path during peak times.
Earlier, in December 2025, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee decided to amend the loading bay hours on the Ewell Road cycle route following objections to the ETMO. These changes aimed to balance the needs of cyclists and businesses, addressing concerns about the loading bay's impact on cyclists.
The Experimental Traffic Management Order (ETMO) for the Ewell Road cycle route, which aims to improve the route between Langley Road and Oak Hill Crescent, came into force in November 2024. While the removal of kerbside parking was welcomed, the retention of the loading bay with its original operational hours drew criticism.
