kerbside parking bays
Kingston councillors are balancing cycle lanes with kerbside loading bay use on Ewell Road.
In March 2026, the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee voted to make the Experimental Traffic Management Order for the Ewell Road cycle route permanent. This decision followed objections from the Kingston Cycling Campaign and six individuals regarding the operational hours and layout of the loading bay outside numbers 140-142 Ewell Road, which they said obstructed the cycle path.
The objections raised concerned the loading bay obstructing the cycle path, particularly during peak times, and the allowance of parking within the bay. Kerbside parking bays are spaces along the edge of a road, the loss of which can be a concern for local businesses.
