Wandsworth Council finally dropped their absurd original route because they realized we aren't going anywhere. Now we push ahead to ensure this new proposal actually serves our neighborhood instead of wrecking it.

The proposal to have traffic lights at the junction with Waynflete St/Trewint St will lead to backed up traffic down these roads creating a busier, noisier, more polluted and therefore dangerous junction for cyclists and pedestrians.
Since the success of Bens Canteen and Bean and Hop Trewint Street, a narrow residential road, has become very busy. It is constantly full of parked cars and it has become quite hazardous for cars to pass down as there is no space to overtake. It would not be sensible to add to already overly used and congested residental road a cycle quietway!
This would impact parents dropping their children of at The Chelsea group of children on Waynflette street. It's a school for special needs and a lot of them need to be driven in from far away, this would impact on them as families as they would have to walk a lot further.
This proposal will make Isis Street a through-street which will make an already challenging situation more difficult due to the narrow streets in the area. If there are cars coming in both directions, we already have to reverse to the end of the street to let them through and this will aggravate that situation
A very poorly thought through proposal with no supporting evidence that this will have any benefit (even to cyclists). It is staggering that there is only one option being presented, hardly much of a consultation. I would ask whether this proposal had even followed a basics of policy process given the lack of impact assessment accompanying it.
cyclists represent a continual risk to my family - with numerous incidents almost causing major injury to my children. the junction of garratt lane to magdalen road is not capable to address a cross over planned as such without some serious accidents occurring. no doubt cycling helps the improves air quality for my children, but there are too many negatives for me to support this scheme.
Not necessary, not asked for, not wanted.

The Cycle Quietway proposal overall is very good, but not the part that runs through Earlsfield. Cyclists naturally take a slightly different route close by. That is the solution.
