  • More Than Just a Driver
    More than just a driver 44 ........... Other road users 46 ........... Using the public address (PA) system 49 ...........Pre-recorded announcements 43 More than just a driver More than just a driver Being a professional bus driver requires more than just giving your passengers a safe, smooth ride. This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

  • Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal
    Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 Crossrail 1 Corridor 6 (Richmond/Kingston/Norbiton) Proposal: Response by London Borough of Hounslow February 2003 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Context This submission constitutes the London Borough of Hounslow’s response to an invitation to provide initial comments on the Crossrail project’s proposal for a new corridor for Crossrail 1: Corridor 6 – Norbiton, via Old Oak Common, Acton, Chiswick, Richmond and Kingston. The submission considers the proposal in terms of service and amenity for the borough’s residents and businesses, and within the context of the Council’s published policies. In addition to the two options that constitute the Corridor 6 proposals, this submission provides two further options for Crossrail’s consideration. While the Council must record its disappointment that an effective period of less than two weeks was offered for preparation of this submission, the Council also wishes to record its appreciation for the assistance given by the Crossrail consultation team during the preparation of the submission. 1.2 Council Policies The London Borough of Hounslow Unitary Development Plan’s objectives relating to transport and land use development are summarised below: • To promote sustainable transport modes (walking, cycling, public and waterborne transport) which improves access for all members of the community and enhances public transport provision in London as a whole, while reducing car traffic and the demand for road space. • To encourage a pattern of land use, and provision of transport which minimises harm to the environment and reduces the need to travel, especially by car, whilst maximising development opportunities in the Borough.

You must visit boatingonthethames.co.uk to check tide times and safety advice before undertaking this trail. T ravel amongst the historic ghosts of London, if you dare, on this phantom packed paddle! We recommend you paddle with the assistance of the tidal flow, departing from Putney in the first 2 hours of the flood tide. Closely timing the tides can allow a return trip. 1. Put in at the public slipway, crossing to the Fulham side of the river and turning left, for correct rules of travel. You are alongside the grounds of Fulham Palace. Can you spot Bishop Bonner who tortured Protestant prisoners during Tudor times and is thought to still stalk grounds? 2. At Hammersmith Bridge, beware of the tide pushing you into Dove Pier after the bridge. 3. At just over 2 miles you are level with the Black Lion area of Hammersmith on your right. A ghost in the 1800's here was blamed for the death of a local woman, who collapsed and died a few hours after witnessing the entity. A hunt for the spook resulted in another local man being shot & killed by mistake (he was wearing white clothing).

  • Conservation Area Study Kew Road No.55, Kew Gardens No.15 & Lawn Crescent No.20
    LONDON BOROUGH OF RICHMOND UPON THAMES Conservation Area Study Kew Road no.55, Kew Gardens no.15 & Lawn Crescent no.20 Conservation areas were introduced in the Civic Amenities Act 1967 and are defined as areas of ' special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance'. Designation introduces a general control over the demolition of unlisted buildings and the felling or lopping of trees above a certain size. The objective of a conservation area study is to provide a clearly defined analysis of the character and appearance of the conservation area, defensible on appeal, to assist in development control decisions. Further, to address issues, which have been identified in the character appraisal process, for the enhancement or preservation of the conservation area. It is hoped that the process of the study and the finished document will stimulate public participation. Kew There are three distinct regions within Kew. The first, around the Green, relates to the River and quay. The second, which includes most of the Botanic Gardens and all the land east towards the railway, was seen as north Richmond until the 1890s. The third area, between the railway and the Lower Mortlake Road, was until recently seen as part of Mortlake. The study of the first area is covered by the Kew Green Conservation Area Study. The second area is covered, in four parts, by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Conservation Area and by the Kew Road, Kew Gardens and Lawn Crescent Conservation Area Studies. The Kew Foot Road and Sheendale Road Conservation Areas are the subject of a further study.
