Very welcome that measures made permanent on Burtons Rd by @LBRUT and @AlexanderEhmann 👏🏻 . Burtons Rd is much safer without 500 rat runners racing down it every week day morning/evening. Crucial that the work continues to reduce traffic on surrounding roads.
Sensible new restrictions brought forward by @LBRUT and @AlexanderEhmann regarding #burtonsroad, which give increased clarity on timings, help to affected surrounding roads and crucially, exemption for people that live around Burtons Rd. This is a fair compromise.
Residents of #burtonsroad are hopeful that timed restrictions stopping rat running will be kept in place by @LBRUT and @AlexanderEhmann at the transport committee meeting on the 18th. In the meantime, it seems someone opposed has taken to vandalism…
Great to see children cycling safely along #burtonsroad at 8am today. This scene would be unthinkable with >500 cars crossing the railway bridge every morning. Still lots of rat runners doing U-turns at the bridge though. Hopefully sign upgrades will help. @AlexanderEhmann @LBRUT
8.13am Tuesday 22nd Sept. Nothing has changed on #burtonsroad. Habitual commuter rat-running continues despite clear signage banning eastbound traffic over the railway bridge from 7-10am. When will there be enforcement of the new regulations @AlexanderEhmann and @LBRUT?
Also so important that differences of view remain amicable. The animosity that surrounded the East Sheen measures is something that should be avoided at all costs. Hopefully the #burtonsroad experience will embolden @LBRUT to continue tackling rat running in a measured way.
Credit to @LBRUT and @AlexanderEhmann for trialing “light-touch” measures on #burtonsroad. Only time will tell if these are tough enough to reduce aggressive commuter rat running on a narrow residential road. Other roads that suffer from rat running deserve action.
DANGEROUS DRIVING on @BurtonsRoad today, like most days. @AlexanderEhmann, when are @LBRUT going to do something about this? “Do nothing” will continue to put residents in danger.
1. A measured debate was had @LBRUT this evening about @BurtonsRoad. All 3 ward councillors spoke in favour. Credit also to @AlexanderEhmann for chairing judiciously. However, we DONT support further consultation that includes “do nothing”.
Apparently @LBRUT think keeping @BurtonsRoad open is a-ok during the evening chaos... Is this ok @AlexanderEhmann? Then again “do nothing” is an option too, so it’s hardly surprising they don’t mind this. “Doing nothing” more like.

Decisive support for closure of @BurtonsRoad in affected roads. Not surprising that people living outside this area, many of whom USE the cut-through, aren’t in favour. @LBRUT consultation isn’t credible. Leadership is required from @AlexanderEhmann, you can’t consult this away.
More road rage on a Sunday @BurtonsRoad. Does the council care? @AlexanderEhmann

A genuine sense of achievement today. This labour of love finally comes to be. Richmond Bridge finally has a a decent crossing at its Richmond end. To the vocal minority who opposed it, I hope you’ll begin to see the benefit now it’s there. To everyone else - enjoy!
On the revised scheme & further trial period of #BurtonsRoad Cllr Monica Saunders says "A fair compromise to exempt local residents whilst ensuring safety for vulnerable road users." Thanks to her & @casswren for all their efforts to get this good result
The work begins tomorrow in Hospital Bridge Road to install the two new crossings; one at Nelson Road Junction and one for Turing House School close to Montrose Road.
Most of us are somewhere between these extremes & recognise that best shouldn’t be enemy of the good; & that good decision-making requires pragmatism. Leading opinion to affect sustainable change requires compromise & judgment. Both can be sadly wanting from Twitter debates.
@Whittonvillage @Jo_Earlsfield That’s also not entirely accurate. You are of course referring to planning process, which is distinct. In broader council terms you may have missed the trial restrictions on Burtons Road, Hampton Hill - which are in part to enable a safe journey for children to Turing House.
Did you know that the London Loop goes right through Hampton Hill taking in Laurel Road, Kings Road, Connaught Road and Burtons Road. Love seeing walkers with backpacks at weekends. #lovewhereyoulive #walkmore
Follow this link to have your say on a consultation proposing changes to limit through traffic on Burtons Road, Hampton Hill. This narrow road suffers badly from rat running and residents have been asking @LBRUT for help for decades: haveyoursay.citizenspace.com/richmondecs/bu…
@AlexanderEhmann @HHforpeople @RichmondCycling A great example of sat-navs pushing through-traffic onto narrow side-streets which are not designed for it... This gridlock was filmed on a previously filtered street in Ealing, but mirrors Burtons Road, Hampton Hill (as it was).
Great to see how One Ealing and Ealing Council have joined forces to ensure better accessibility for emergency services, the disabled and elderly, dog “walkers”, Mums who have to go somewhere else after school pick-up, plumbers carrying sofas and carers. Is that everybody?
People who cycle west from Teddingon in the morning will have noticed that Burtons Road has been less awful over the last few months. If that includes you could you please ask [email protected] for the rat-blocking to continue ?
[NEWS] Following a consultation with residents in the Hampton Hill area, a trial scheme aimed at addressing traffic levels in the Burtons Road area of Hampton Hill has gone live. Find out more: ow.ly/EQBL50BEfYv

Is Richmond the ONLY London borough to have a Leader who owns and uses a cargo bike? Quite possibly. But to have a Leader and a Deputy Leader who BOTH own and use cargo bikes? Got to be unique, surely! Prove me wrong! #CarFreeDay #WorldCarFreeDay #LeadByExample
Thank you Richmond residents. We couldn’t have achieved this without your co-operation & support. Perhaps, now that figures show 20mph has brought down speeds in borough (in some cases by as much as 8+mph) @LBRuTTories will cease their opposition to it. richmond.gov.uk/council/news/p…
A good night’s (and short by this Committee’s standard) work on @LBRUT Transport Committee, analysing successful speed reduction of borough-wide 20mph deployment & a long-overdue pedestrianisation of Church Street. Thank you Richmond residents for all your support.
Please switch your car engine off when stationary to minimise air pollution
One for @BurtonsRoad. After continued pressure on our ANPR camera contractor we’ve been able bring forward installation & we will be fitting them tomorrow. There will be a short period of zero-rated fines being sent to drivers, then followed by active fines for non-compliance.
Our councillors have joined together to #ClapForOurCarers and show their support for the brilliant work our NHS staff, carers and volunteers are doing to keep us all safe. THANK YOU! 👏👏 #ClapForCarers #clapforNHS
