Experimental Pedestrian and Cycle Zone in Burnaby Street and Tetcott Road (outside Chelsea Academy)

Overview

From 1 September 2021, motor vehicles will be banned from entering Burnaby Street between the north-eastern kerb-line of Lots Road and the south-western kerb-line of Upcerne Road, between 8.05am and 8.45am and between 3.25pm and 3.50pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and between 8.05am and 8.45am and between 2.25pm and 2.45pm on Wednesdays. This road closure will also include the parts of Tetcott Road that are accessed via Burnaby Street.

[Note: (1) The pedestrian and cycle zone in the above location is the same as that which was provided as part of a previous experimental scheme but with different hours of operation. All objections and comments received to the previous experimental scheme will be carried forward to this experimental scheme and will be considered before deciding whether to make the scheme permanent. (2) Foot scooters, e-scooters, emergency vehicles, Dial-a-ride buses and vehicles displaying a valid Blue Badge are exempt from the closure. Residents and traders who live or work in the sections of road referred to above will be able to register for an exemption. (3) The pedestrian and cycle zone will operate at the times stated above, although in practice it is anticipated that it will only operate during these hours in school term-time, when physical barriers are installed on street].
