'Tis the season where we struggle to get Kingston Council to sweep up leaves on pavements and cycle leaves 🎄🍂. When we reported these leaves in the cycle lane the case was closed with the comment "Unable to remove or clear" 🙄

Uh-oh! Repairs to a high voltage cable mean that the cycle track on Kingston High Street is closed at the junction with Kingston Hall Road.

We've spotted more bike parking stand installations. Locations: Clarence Street outside the KFC and the new apartment block "The Rex", and on Kings Road.

Seems that what is possibly the busiest cycle route in the borough was closed without warning or consideration of cyclists. #SkerneRoad

Terrible NEW bike parking installed by Eden Walk shopping centre. We'll ask the Council to request its removal. #KingstonBikeTheft

The obvious thing is to remove the planter box, which obscures the views between drivers. It's not needed. There is a No Entry sign on a post. Also, drivers on Park Road need to drive within the speed limit.

We've been told that there's a lot of opposition to the trial measures in Kings Road, Tudor Road and Crescent Road. Probably the most anger has been at the Crescent Road change. Kings Rd and Tudor Rd are not permanent changes - still only trials. Survey: www.kingstonletstalk.co.uk/highways-and...

The new LCC map of 'Dangerous Junctions (for cyclists) in London highlights the risks in north Kingston. Most dangerous junction is assessed to be Kings Road with Park Road (mini roundabout), 3rd is London Rd juntion with Birkenhead Ave (opposite ASDA), and #4 Queen's Road/ Crescent Road.

The kerb 'upstand' is minimal there because the junction has been built as a very, very subtle "raised table".

Hi, the crossings for cyclists going east to West are shown here in green. The red line is what cyclists should not be doing as they would be going through a (Toucan) crossing being used by pedestrians and potentially cyclists. The layout is confusing and lacking in markings and signs.

We've noticed some new cycle parking stands in Kingston. Have you spotted any other new ones in the borough? We had requested the ones near Anytime Fitness.

Rude. Driver parks their van across the Little Wood Street cycle track for a couple of hours. RBK Parking enforcement officers nowhere to be seen.

Problems with cracks on the #BeelineWay cycle track and flooding of the footpath on The Cut, New Malden. Kingston Council is aware of the issues.

OK, so this photo was taken after hours, but has anyone seen the "pit lane" in St James's Road being used in the last 6 months? Construction ended quite a few months ago. It makes cycling on this 2-way road sub-optimal.

Construction to finish the Surbiton to Tolworth #Cycleway is going well with a couple of hundred metres of separated cycle path complete, a new toucan crossing open and two new continuous crossings at side roads 👍🚲🏗️

The righthand "Pedestrian Zone" (cycles allowed) sign disappeared in around 2022 we think. Kingston Council has recently placed a temporary version (but without the blue shared use sign). Anecdotally, there have been fewer cars parked here since the sign arrived.

A pedal-powered (with a little electric assistance) street cleaners' cargo quadricycle. Made by EAV near Oxford, the brand is now owned by Trek cycles.

Construction has started today to complete the Kingston to New Malden #Cycleway. With construction continuing on Ewell Road this means Kingston has two Cycleways under construction. New crossings being installed will make it safer for those walking too 🚲🏗️👍

Yay!!! After 6 years, the footway flooding problem on #SkerneRoad has been fixed. The lump of timber that blocked the drain and stopped rainwater getting to the drain has been replaced with the proper grill (presumably by Network Rail, whose access this is)
