Plans to build European-style cycling tracks through Kingston could see the borough’s road network completely transformed.

Construction on the first phase of the project in Portsmouth Road

Kingston Council launched four consultations today into plans for the next phase of the mini-Holland project, including completely removing the Fountain roundabout in New Malden and creating new cycling hubs in Kingston town centre.

Construction has already begun on some elements of the the £33m project, including a segregated cycle lane in Portsmouth Road. The original estimate cost of that scheme has more than doubled to some at a cost of £3.2m.

Cllr Terry Paton, portfolio holder for the Go Cycle programme, said: “With some 50,000 additional people moving about the borough by 2050, we need to look at ways of relieving pressures of a growing population on the borough’s transport network.

“Go-Cycle [the council’s name for the mini-Holland project] is about keeping Kingston moving and improving connectivity across the borough.

“We’ve been working on proposals for the next four schemes and now it’s time for the public to provide feedback and to help shape our final plans.”

Artists’ impressions have been released for the redevelopment of four key areas, including Kingston station, Wheatfield Way, New Malden’s Fountain roundabout and parts of Surbiton.

As part of the scheme Surbiton Crescent will also be closed for four to six months in a bid to divert traffic and “improve safety for cyclists”, which will begin in August.

Overall the council has identified 10 mini-Holland development schemes, having secured funding from City Hall and Transport for London back in March 2014.

The original plans included creating an elevated “superskyway” over the Thames and turning Kingston station into a cyclist-only plaza with an underpass for cars.

Kingston Council aims to have completed the development works by the end of 2018.

The consultations opened today and will run until Monday, July 18. Visit Kingston.gov.uk.

Go Cycle is the authority's name for its various schemes funded by the central mini-Holland pot.
