Should Santander Cycles Come to Chiswick? Have Your Say
Hello,I'm reaching out to see if others in the Chiswick area would support an expansion of the Santander Cycles scheme (TfL's cycle hire) further west into our neighbourhood.At the moment, the nearest docking stations are still some distance away (closest to my knowledge is Ravenscourt Park), and I believe there’s a strong case for bringing them into Chiswick — not only to provide a more reliable and tidier alternative to free-floating rental bikes, but also to encourage active travel, support local journeys, reduce pavement clutter, and better integrate our area with London’s wider public transport and cycling network.I’ve contacted Transport for London about this, and they’ve advised that future expansion is possible, but it depends on local demand and, importantly, pressure from residents and our local representatives.I understand we’re currently focused on the post office issue (which I’ve also supported), but I wondered if others here feel that Santander Cycles would be a valuable addition to the area. If so, please let me know — either here or by private message. I’m happy to coordinate with anyone interested in helping to push this forward, depending on how much community support there is.Thanks for reading,Luke
