Tetcott Road Cycle Stands

Overview

Enabling more cycling is one of the Council’s borough transport objectives. Making travel by bicycle convenient for residents 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.

Chelsea Riverside ward councillors have approved a Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy bid from a resident to introduce cycle stands on the pedestrianised area in Tetcott Road between Chelsea Academy and World's End Studios. We are consulting on the introduction of four cycle stands in the centre of the plaza. 

What are the proposed changes?

A location plan is provided below.  Each “Sheffield” type cycle stand can support two bicycles (one on each side of the stand).  We are proposing four stands, providing space for eight cycles to be parked, two each on either side of the central tree on the plaza between Chelsea Academy and World's End Studios. 

The Council uses ‘Sheffield’ stands which are the most simple and reliable design. They are the most common type of stand and constructed from a single tube with two right-angle bends.  An example is provided below.
