resident consultation
Kingston upon Thames is proceeding with traffic calming measures subject to local engagement, reflecting ongoing council efforts to involve residents in local decisions.
In November 2026, Kingston upon Thames' South of the Borough Neighbourhood Committee approved the installation of speed indicator devices and speed tables, with implementation subject to local engagement. During discussions, a resident questioned the accuracy of speed data collected for the scheme. This follows Haringey Council's adoption of a new Clear Communal Areas Policy in January 2026, aimed at enhancing safety in council housing.
The importance of resident consultation has been highlighted by past concerns. In July 2025, Hanworth residents petitioned Hounslow Council to remove an experimental e-bike parking bay, citing infrequent use and a lack of consultation regarding its installation. The petition, signed by 82 people, was presented at the Hanworth Area Forum meeting.
