Pedestrian and cyclist safety
Kingston Council is currently seeking funding to redesign Fountain Roundabout to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety.
Kingston Council is seeking funding from Transport for London (TfL) to redesign the Fountain Roundabout in New Malden, aiming to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The council's Place Committee approved the submission of proposed schemes for this redesign in November 2025, following collision investigations that identified the A2043 road section as needing review for vulnerable road users.
The proposals aim to address pedestrian and cycle safety concerns at the roundabout, improve the junction layout, and enhance the public space and environment. This initiative is part of broader efforts to ensure the safety of individuals walking or cycling, particularly in relation to road use and infrastructure.
