Dear members –
TfL has issued a consultation related to bus routes across London. Many of their proposed changes would impact significantly on a large number of bus routes in Chelsea – in the King’s Road or South Kensington areas. In particular it would divert/shorten routes and make other changes to the 49, 211 on Sydney Street. In addition, the proposal would abolish the 11, 14 and 74 buses and make major changes to the 19 and 414 routes.
SSDRA will submit a response; however, it is important that individual members and residents also respond as TfL’s decisions will be influenced by numbers responding. You can respond by completing the survey as linked in item 1 below or by e-mailing your response to haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk.
The TfL consultation is open until 12th July. Specific details and maps are included on their consultation website, as detailed below:
