I have explained to you before that many of these changes were to benefit drivers not to make things more difficult and many will never change back, I can explain them all to you one by one if it is easier. Homefields Ward Stamford Brook Avenue / Goldhawk Road – Dangerous crossroad, poor sightlines. Prebend Gardens one way scheme – Low bridge, poor sightlines. British Grove one way scheme and junction with A4 – Narrow road, never connected to A4. Netheravon Road and A4 - Never connected to A4. Airedale Avenue and A4 - Never connected to A4. Chiswick Mall one way and modal filter with contraflow cycle lane – Not a one way just in case of high tides, there is a no entry as Church Street is too narrow. Beverley Road / Chiswick Lane - Dangerous crossroad, poor sightlines, would need to remove pedestrian crossing. Pumping Station Road / Chiswick Mall - modal filter for cycling – Never connected, built for pedestrians and cyclist. Cranbrook Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Brackley Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Annandale Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Swanscombe Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Ingress St one way scheme – Too narrow. Devonshire Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Cleveland Ave and Merton Ave one way scheme – Too narrow. Flanders Road / Welstead Way modal filter – Historical boundary, Welstead Way is built on what was once train tracks. Corney Road modal filter – Dangerous junction, poor sightlines. Grantham Road modal filter - ?????? Paxton Road one way scheme – First one on the list, unlike all the others above reversing the direction would have a negative impact and increase traffic flow. Thornton Avenue - modal filter at TGT - ??? The road is closed at TGT, pedestrians were considered to be more important than cars and bikes. Turnham Green Ward Chiswick Common Road - modal filter at TGT – Too narrow. Linden Gardens one way scheme – Increased parking. Dolman Rd one way scheme – Too narrow. Bennett St and A4 – Used to connect to Hogarth Lane, but has never connected to the A4. Park Road North and A4 – Used to connect to Ellesmere Road, but has never connected to the A4, since the M4 was built. Chiswick Road one way scheme and modal filter for cycling – Too narrow, but the same as Paxton Road if it was reversed it would increase traffic. Garth Road and A4 - Used to connect to Ellesmere Road, but has never connected to the A4. Sutton Lane North and Sutton Road North one way scheme and modal filter for cycling – The Lane is too narrow, where is the Road? Harvard Road and A4 – Number four on the list, put in place to stop cars cutting through. Burlington Gardens one way scheme – Too narrow. Silver Crescent and Thorney Hedge Road one way scheme – Too narrow. Princes Avenue one way scheme – Too narrow. Duke Road closure at A4 – Used to connect to Hogarth Lane, but has never connected to the A4. Town Hall Avenue - one way and pavement build out at southern end – TFL were going to change the direction and make it a bus lane, but when they found out it was going to cost a bit more than a bit of red paint and moving the signs from one end to the other they gave up on that idea. Barley Mow Passage - no vehicles – A service road for deliveries, that cannot be used for deliveries. Chardin Road – closure – Number five on the list. Holly Road - closure besides Campbell's Chemist (nominative determinism) - would create a dangerous junction. Clifton Gardens - one way scheme, no exit to CHR - would create a dangerous junction. Riverside Ward Riverview Grove and Grove Park Terrace modal filter - Dangerous crossroad, poor sightlines. Compton Crescent and Sutton Court modal filter – Private ownership. Brooks Lane - school street and modal filter – The road has only ever existed for the school, I’m surprised it is not part of the school, the same as the end of Duke Road. Brooks Lane level crossing closure – This one has never existed, unlike you to make things up. Spring Grove one way scheme – Too narrow. Clarence Road no entry from Wellesley Road – Dangerous junction. Hartington Road - permit access only – Not required should reopen. Strand on the Green / Thames Road - timed access – Not required should close with junction of the A205 and use the pedestrian area on the river to create a turning circle. Staveley Road – Diversion not required. School street needs to be no-one or everyone and only with Hartington Road reopening to everyone. Grove Park Terrace - school street – Too short to be effective, St Thomas’ Road should remain. Harvard Hill - no exit to A4 – improves journey times for the many using the A4 and inconveniences the few who want to join the A4 from there. Southfield Ward Woodstock Rd and The Avenue - road closure - Dangerous crossroad, poor sightlines. Wadhurst Road and Priory Road - modal filter - Historical boundary, has never connected, but I don’t know why. Evershed Walk and Cleveland Rd - modal filter – Used to be the main road between Chiswick and Acton. The road was closed and Beaconsfield Road was knocked down to make the road wider for cars. Fishers Lane - bus and cycle route – The strangest one on the list, bus AND cycle, if only we had known busses and cycles could share the same space. There would be no need for a cycle lane on the high road, TFL could have just finished the job they started but ran out of money on, bus lanes.
