Plans for safer cycle paths are due to be approved at the next Bedfont, Hanworth and Feltham area forum meeting on Thursday (Jan 22).

Following a consultation on two detailed designs for Hounslow Road cycle improvements , which were put forward by Hounslow council at the end of last year, option B has been recommended for approval.

Despite the public consultation results in favour of option A, council officers and the Hounslow Cycling Campaign group opted for option B as providing a more protected cycle route.

Councillors will make their decision on the £1m cycle upgrade proposal which if approved will see designs finalised by April this year, followed by a statutory consultation in May/June so work can begin later this year in July for a summer 2016 completion.

To find out more attend the meeting due to take place in the public meeting room at Feltham Library on Thursday at 7.30pm.
