The Council is seeking your feedback on a proposal to implement measures aimed at enhancing road safety near Sheen Mount Primary School on Christchurch Road.

You may already be aware of the School Street that was implemented on West Temple Sheen in early March 2025. At the time of consulting on this school street, residents were also asked about the potential for an extended school street area to include Christchurch Road. This extended area was not supported for school street restrictions and the proposed school safety measures are designed to complement the existing school street restriction on West Temple Sheen, while ensuring that traffic on Christchurch Road remains unrestricted.

Due to the cost of implementing these proposed measures on Christchurch Road, they would be introduced on a permanent basis. The proposals look to ensure the safety of school children walking to and from school.

Consultation ends 29 May 2025

The proposed road safety measures included in this package are:

• A new zebra crossing on a raised table outside number 71 Christchurch Road: This will involve removing an unnecessary vehicle crossover at the rear of 22 West Temple Sheen and implementing a short section of double yellow lines to prevent parking or waiting.
• [What this fails to point out is that the addition of a zebra crossing will prevent parking on the zigzag lines on either side at all times. Penalty £100 and three penalty points.]
• A raised table at the junction of Berwyn Road and Christchurch Road: This aims to improve pedestrian crossing safety. It will include a review of vegetation on both sides of the junction to ensure clear sightlines and the introduction of double yellow lines to prevent parking or waiting.
• Installation of new bollards: These will protect the informal crossing point outside number 90 Christchurch Road.
• Relocation of existing school flashing warning signs: New locations will be identified for these signs to enhance visibility and effectiveness.
• Proposed double yellow lines at the junction of Christchurch Road and Temple Sheen: These restrictions are intended to prevent unsafe or illegal parking.
