ROGER METCALFE CALLS FOR CANCELLATION OF KEW ROAD EXPERIMENTAL TRAFFIC SCHEME
Kew has been blighted by traffic chaos, increased danger and increased pollution following the introduction of London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames’s controversial ‘Experimental Traffic Scheme’ on Kew Road. The scheme:
· Has been introduced in an undemocratic way with no prior consultation.
· Is causing additional displacement parking putting further pressure on Kew Green and residential roads adjoining Kew Road.
· Will force 60 coaches per day onto Kew Green, with extra infrastructure, loss of car parking and using a new one-way system that residents roundly rejected 20 years ago.
· Ruins the beauty of Kew Road.
· Threatens businesses and ruins the economic recovery of Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, a World Heritage Site.
I have written to the London Borough of Richmond Upon Thames and appeared on the Council’s Transport and Air Quality Committee, to express the concerns expressed by many residents and business owners about the introduction of this scheme. I recognise the difficulties and added congestion this is causing for the constituents of and many thousands of visitors to Kew and particularly with the ongoing over-development of Brentford causing extra pressure.
To address this, I am calling on local residents, business owners, commuters and visitors to Kew to support my petition below calling on the London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames to immediately cancel its ‘Kew Road Experimental Traffic Scheme’.
Please sign your name in support of the following:
We the undersigned demand that London Borough of Richmond-Upon-Thames immediately cancels its ‘Kew Road Experimental Traffic Scheme’. .JPG)

UK Referendum on Immigration & Case for Net Zero – For Immigration When were you ever asked anything about immigration? The UK has long suffered at the hand of sucessive governments when it comes to mass immigration and its thirst for low paid labour instead of investing in British skills and a self-dependent economy. Today we see our coast plagued with boat after boat from France carrying essentially young men from the Middle East claiming asylum. Our government usher them in without prop

Many Northern riders are feeling disgruntled that the allocation of qualifiers doesn't include the North. We are a very strong area both in quality and quantity and feel we aren't getting the recognition we deserve.The nearest one is still hours away and involves a lot of travelling for ponies which we thought the NPS were trying to avoid.
