Whether a new parallel crossing should be implemented across Old Brompton Road (from Kempsford Gardens to Brompton Cemetery).
In total, 79 responses were received to the consultation. Forty-Two (54%) respondents supported the proposals in full, 17 supported in part (22%), and 19 responses objected to the proposals (24%).

The Council plans to proceed to detailed design and implementation of the proposed parallel crossing on Old Brompton Road, subject to statutory consultation.
Enabling more walking and cycling is one of the Council’s transport objectives. Making such trips safer and more convenient is one way to improve our air quality, reduce traffic congestion, and work towards our goal for the borough to be carbon neutral by 2040.
We are consulting on providing a new parallel crossing from Kempsford Gardens, across Old Brompton Road, to Brompton Cemetery. Parallel crossings enable pedestrians and cyclists to cross a road safely, with the same level of priority as a zebra crossing gives a pedestrian. Parallel crossings look similar to zebra crossings but include a separate crossing area for cyclists beside the traditional zebra crossing area for pedestrians. To facilitate the crossing, the proposals also include a compulsory left turn for vehicles exiting Kempsford Gardens on to Old Brompton Road.
Please read the following information carefully before filling in our consultation survey no later than 23 April 2023.
