Healthy Streets

Berrylands potential Healthy Street improvements

Kingston Council’s vision is to create cleaner, greener neighbourhoods, and our streets play a major role in this plan. We want everyone to feel our streets are spaces where they can breathe clean air, walk safely and feel connected to the local community.

We can achieve this by putting in place measures to reduce the speed and volume of traffic and provide good facilities to encourage more people to make more journeys by sustainable modes of transport such as walking, cycling and public transport. Fewer vehicles on the roads can improve air quality and road safety. People moving around actively helps to improve their health and wellbeing.

We have identified Berrylands as an area which could benefit from further area-wide Healthy Streets highway improvement measures. Download a map of the Berrylands area  

On 3 November 2022 Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee agreed to engage with residents and stakeholders about potential improvements that could be made in the area.
This project has an allocation of funding from Transport for London.

Potential Schemes 

We have identified potential improvements in Berrylands through the collection and analysis of the traffic data, accident data and data about the volume, origin and destination of traffic in the area, which all helps us to map out the movement of people in an area and understand travel behaviour better.  You can find out more about our data below.

We have also surveyed the area using the ‘Healthy Streets’ approach.  We've used TfL’s Healthy Streets toolkit to help us look at how we can improve air quality, reduce congestion and help make the Berrylands area greener, fairer and safer places to live, work, play and do business. You can download a summary of the approach and indicators for more information about healthy streets. 

Listening to your views

Our most recent engagement on Berrylands Healthy Streets closed on 30 September. 

The next steps

No decisions have been made yet.
We are analysing your feedback from the survey and drop-in sessions along with the traffic data and will be taking a report to the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee.

The report for the committee will recommend measures that could be progressed and implemented using the funds available, and identify a set of measures that could be delivered over the longer term once more funding is available.

We will write to residents to inform you of the committee decision.
