Active Travel in the London Boroughs of Richmond, Hounslow, Kingston and Wandsworth with the Mayor of London’s Walking and Cycling Commissioner, Will Norman, on 11th February 2025, 6pm to 8pm.

Who

The meeting is primarily for active travel campaigners in the 4 boroughs from:

• the local branches of London Cycling Campaign: Richmond, Wandsworth, Hounslow and Kingston
• the local branches of Living Streets: Richmond and Wandsworth
• representatives of Cycle Sisters (Hounslow), RUILS, Richmond Park Cyclists, Bella Velo, Make Air Safe & Clean and 20s Plenty

As the event is to support active travel campaigners, councillors and officials will not be invited.

Format

The current plan is as follows:

• to hear from the Walking and Cycling Commissioner (about 10 to 15 minutes),
• a question and answer session with the Walking and Cycling Commissioner
• other details to be announced nearer the date

Where

• the Lounge, Duke Street Baptist Church, Duke Street, Richmond, TW9 1DH
• accessibility: lift to access the Lounge
• https://www.dukestreetchurch.com
• close to Richmond rail/tube station and buses
• bike parking:
  • A large number of bike park spaces at the back of Richmond rail/tube station.
  • additional bike parking:
    • in front of Waitrose (Sheen Road),
    • behind Nationwide Building Society (the Square, start of Eton Street),
    • behind Dexter estate agents (in Princess Street, off Sheen Road)]

We will work with Duke Street Church for AV equipment and other facilities.

Ticketing, etc.

The Lounge at Duke Street Church has a capacity of 100.

We expect to set up four event links to register to attend, i.e. one for each Borough, so that each of the 4 branches of LCC, together with their Living Streets colleagues, can choose who they wish to invite (approximately 22 tickets for each borough). This link is not to be shared publicly, including on social media. This will enable us to manage the total number of attendees and keep the event safe and respectful to all concerned. We will provide the remaining places to the other groups identified above.

The event is free but a donation is requested

Richmond LCC will pay for the venue, but we ask participating groups to donate £ 30 to cover the cost of setting up and running this event.
