Basil Street - Pedestrian and Cycle Zone

We asked for views on the proposed introduction of the following:

(a)  provide a route for the use of pedestrians and pedal cycles only in Basil Street, between the western kerb-line of Sloane Street and 14 metres south-west of that kerb-line, prohibiting all motor vehicles from entering that section;

(b)   provide a pedestrian and cycle zone in Basil Street, between Pavilion Road and 14 metres south-west of the western kerb-line of Sloane Street (vehicles would be permitted to enter the pedestrian and cycle zone to access properties);

(c)   remove the north-eastbound one-way system in Basil Street, between Pavilion Road and Sloane Street; and

(d)   provide a southbound one-way system in Pavilion Road, between Basil Street and Hans Crescent (reversing the existing one-way system in this length), along with the associated prohibition of entry against the flow of traffic at the southern end of that length.

We had no objections and two letters of support to these proposals.

We have made the traffic order, as proposed, introducing the following:

(a)  provide a route for the use of pedestrians and pedal cycles only in Basil Street, between the western kerb-line of Sloane Street and 14 metres south-west of that kerb-line, prohibiting all motor vehicles from entering that section;

(b)   provide a pedestrian and cycle zone in Basil Street, between Pavilion Road and 14 metres south-west of the western kerb-line of Sloane Street (vehicles would be permitted to enter the pedestrian and cycle zone to access properties);

(c)   remove the north-eastbound one-way system in Basil Street, between Pavilion Road and Sloane Street; and

(d)   provide a southbound one-way system in Pavilion Road, between Basil Street and Hans Crescent (reversing the existing one-way system in this length), along with the associated prohibition of entry against the flow of traffic at the southern end of that length.
