1 Executive Summary A three week engagement exercise for Traffic Order Group 15 in the London Boroughs of Ealing and Hammersmith and Fulham was held between 8 March and 12 April 2011.

125 letters were sent to key stakeholders and approx 15,852 local residents and businesses within c. 400m radius of the Olympic and Paralympic Route Networks (ORN and PRN)

36 people attended the four drop in sessions

40 responses were received via email, website, telephone and drop in session feedback forms.

Responses included concerns about the impact of the proposals on general congestion and resulting pollution, negative impact on local businesses, the impact of the banned right turns from the A40 into Savoy Circus and Old Oak Common Lane and the impact the proposals may have on emergency services. TfL has considered the feedback received back from this exercise, and is taking it into account in developing the detailed designs. In particular, concerns were made about the proposed closure of Coronation Road Bridge between Park Royal and the A40 Western Avenue and the potential impacts this closure would have on the Park Royal Industrial Estate. In response, TfL’s technical team have looked again at this area and decided the Park Royal Industrial Estate entrance and exit would be reopened to general traffic. . However, in order to mitigate the impact on the ORN the signals at this location are proposed to be on a minimum green time. In addition, the proposed westbound Games Lane on the A40 Western Avenue will be removed between Old Oak Common and the A4000 Wales Farm Road. LOCOG have made a recent request seeking an uplift of Games Lane operational times on the A40 to 06:00 to 00:00 (midnight), to coincide with the latest competition times. The A40 Games Lanes for this TOG will include a modification of hours from 06:00 to 23:00 to 06:00 to 00:00 (midnight).

2 Introduction

2.1 Purpose

Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on the ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), has been engaging local residents and stakeholders on the temporary changes to the way the roads can be used in their local area.

This engagement aims to identify concerns and unforeseen issues and consider potential solutions to these when finalising the designs. It is carried out in advance of a formal statutory consultation that will take place as part of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process which is required to introduce many of the changes. TfL proposes to engage on TROs in phases to ease the absorption of detailed information. There are five phases in total and this process has to be completed by November 2011 to ensure that the ORN/ PRN can be constructed before the Games. This report covers the section of the ORN known as TOG 15, which falls into phase one of the ORN and PRN engagement. TOG 15 covers roads within the London Boroughs of Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It was agreed with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea that no public engagement was needed for the elevated section of the A40 Westway that fell within their borough. 2.2 Background

The ORN and PRN is a network of roads linking all the competition and key non-competition venues for the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. The roads that will be used for the ORN and PRN were formally designated by the Secretary of State for Transport in summer 2009. The ORN will enable key participants, such as athletes, officials and media, to travel safely, securely and efficiently between venues and their accommodation, while also keeping London and the rest of the UK moving. The ORN is required along Westway/ the Western Avenue (A40) to link central London to the Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena Olympic competition venues. The temporary changes that will be needed to operate the ORN have been developed in agreement with the local authorities listed above. These proposed changes are likely to operate from mid July to mid August 2012. The proposed measures consulted on are:

Offside Games Lanes on eastbound and westbound parts of the A40 (proposed from 6am – 11pm)

No right turn (except buses)into Old Oak Road from the A40 eastbound direction

Closure of one lane on the A40 eastbound approach to the Hanger Lane gyratory

Closure of Coronation Road bridge between Park Royal and the A40 Western Avenue

Closure of slip road (on the westbound approach to Hanger Lane)

3 Stakeholder Engagement

The engagement exercise was designed to enable TfL to share the details of the proposed changes so people on or near the routes could find out how they might be affected. This would allow TfL to understand local opinion about the measures. The potential outcome of this process is that TfL modifies the scheme in response to issues raised during this engagement exercise.

3.1 Engagement objectives

The objectives of the consultation were:

To give stakeholders and the public information about the proposals and allow them to respond

To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not previously aware

To understand concerns and objections

To allow respondents to make suggestions

3.2 Who we engaged with

The engagement exercise sought the views of targeted stakeholders and people who live/work/run businesses on or near to the ORN in this TOG area:

Elected politicians - We informed councillors in relevant Wards, Members of Parliament, and Assembly Members to ensure they were aware of the engagement

Local stakeholders - We engaged with local traffic police, London Travel Watch and a range of local stakeholder groups, such as residents groups, business groups and organisations in the local area .

Residents and businesses

Emergency Services A list of the stakeholders we engaged with is shown in Appendix C.

3.3 Engagement methodology

A public engagement plan was developed in collaboration with Council officers and a number of meetings took place to discuss and agree an appropriate consultation approach. This was also supported with email and telephone correspondence on a regular basis.

Page 6: Public Engagement on Olympic Route ... - TfL Consultations...Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on the ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA),

A variety of methods have been used to inform local residents and businesses about the engagement and to encourage them to take part. 3.3.1 Meetings with key stakeholders

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and TfL have extensively engaged with relevant council officers about the detailed design of the ORN measures since the publication of the network in 2006. This includes regular technical meetings, conferences, the Olympic Transport Plan and the borough transport forum. The ODA made the locations of the temporary Games Lanes across London and the rest of the UK public in July 2010. Prior to this launch a number of political and key stakeholder briefings took place This was followed by a consultation on the re-designated route and Penalty Charge Notification Levels in Summer 2009 Regular engagement has taken place with the emergency services, in particular with the Metropolitan Police during the design process and comments have been incorporated into latest designs. A presentation was given at the East Acton Ward Forum in November 2010. This was an opportunity to communicate general messages about the ORN/PRN, including the location of the Games Lanes. The audience were also informed that public engagement was likely to take place in early 2011 which would involve drop in sessions. Members of the audience included East Acton Ward Councillors and local residents. In March 2011, and prior to any public activity, written correspondence was sent to local politicians and key stakeholders in the area informing them of the temporary changes as well as the public engagement exercises in the local area. 3.3.2 Letter

A letter detailing the key changes was delivered by a mail delivery agency to 15,852 properties along the route and by post and email to targeted stakeholders listed in Appendix C. The letter:

provided an overview of the key temporary changes

signposted people to the dedicated microsite containing detailed maps

encouraged people to attend drop-in sessions where they would be able to ask questions and/or find out additional information

asked people to provide comments on the proposed temporary changes and respond using TfL’s on-line consultation tool and by emailing, writing or telephoning.

A copy of this letter is shown in Appendix A and a map of the distribution area can be found in Appendix B.

3.3.3 Web microsite

A dedicated microsite displayed the extent of the route concerned and allowed users to click on to detailed maps that showed the proposed changes. The site included an on-line consultation tool for instant feedback. 3.3. 4 Public drop-In sessions

Four drop in sessions were held:

The Ramada Encore Hotel, 4 Portal Way W3 6RT o 4pm – 8pm on 23 March o 10.30am – 1pm on 25 March

White City Community Centre, India Way W12 7QT o 4pm – 8pm on 1 April o 10.30am – 2.30pm on 2 April

23 people attended the Ramada Encore (Ealing) sessions. 12 people attended the White City (Hammersmith) sessions. Each drop in session comprised:

a display stand explaining the purpose of and background to the Olympic and Paralympic Route Networks

large area maps of the section involved and proposed maps

large scale maps showing the proposed measures in detail (reproduced on the web microsite)

Drop in session attendees were able to engage with the design specialists to gain a better understanding of the proposals and the Games in general. They were encouraged to fill out feedback forms. Analysis of these is contained within section 4. 3.3.5 Telephone queries

Callers were able to make an enquiry or comment on the plans through TfL’s customer services lines, which were listed on letters, emails and the website 3.3.6 Other publicity – Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle

The Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicle released a press article publicising the local changes and encouraged people to attend the drop in sessions.

General congestion and resulting pollution 20

Negative impact on businesses 9

The impact of banned right turns from the A40 into Savoy

Circus and Old Oak Common Lane 7

Impact on emergency services 5

Many respondents commented on more than one issue within their response. 4.2.1 Issue - General congestion/ pollution

Approximately half of respondents raised concerns about increases in traffic congestion and/or raised levels of pollution.

Addressing the issue raised In London it will be ‘business as unusual’ during the Games. We appreciate it will be harder to get around certain areas of the city, but Transport for London is working with councils, businesses and local residents to ensure as much information is

9

available as early as possible to help people make alternative plans and keep London moving. Hosting the Olympics is equivalent to 26 simultaneous world championships, so presents some unique challenges. Large numbers of passengers, athletes and officials need to be moved not for one day but, including the Paralympics, for several weeks. The ORN and PRN are being designed to minimise disruption to general road users while meeting the journey times specified in the Host City Contract, but inevitably they may cause some inconvenience and standing traffic in some areas at times. The measures to improve traffic flow will be proportionate, temporary and will only operate when and where they are needed. Road space for general traffic will be maximised wherever possible. We are confident we will meet the transport challenge posed by the Games, but not complacent. People will need to change the way they travel, when they travel or work in different ways during the Games. London is used to hosting successful major events, and we will do so again. All partners are fully focused on delivering a fantastic London 2012 Games and legacy for the Capital and UK.

4.2.2 Issue – Business impact

Eight respondents raised concerns about the impact on businesses. Including:

Difficulty in accessing Park Royal Industrial estate due to banned turns

Delivery drivers having to find alternative routes or follow diversions, meaning inconvenience/increased cost of petrol

General concern that congestion will mean less customers for businesses, and whether compensation will be available due to loss of trade

Very disruptive situation for staff who travel by bus and car, with unacceptable increases in their journey times.

Addressing the issue raised

TfL is mindful of the potential impact of its proposed measures. Our technical team have looked again at this area and decided the Park Royal Industrial Estate entrance and exit would be reopened to general traffic. However, in order to mitigate the impact on the Olympic Route Network (ORN) the traffic signals (located at the Coronation Road/A40 Western Avenue) are proposed to manage demand from the Industrial Estate, by operating on a minimum green time. In addition, London 2012 is working with the Mayor of London, Transport for London and the London boroughs to ensure there is effective communication with businesses and residents about how any measures associated with the Games and other events might affect them and how they can plan ahead. This work – known as City Operations – will, alongside the ORN and PRN, help to ensure that London keeps moving and working throughout summer 2012.

London is hosting the two biggest sporting events on the planet and a range of temporary measures have been planned to make them a success. We can all play our part in keeping our city moving. It is important that people begin to think about how they might be able to make changes to their working hours or routes, mode and timing of travel for the few short weeks of the Games so they can get to where they need to go on time.

4.2.3 Issue – banned right turns

Seven respondents specifically mentioned banned right turns being an issue, with a focus on the banned right turn at Savoy Circus. Example comments:

although the diversion will be via White City, traffic will probably go via Ealing increasing congestion in this area

traffic will turn into St Andrew's Road and The Fairway and turn right on to Old Oak Common Lane to cross the A40. As additional traffic on Old Oak Common Lane will need to flow, parking will need to be suspended between Brunel Road and Victoria Road

No Right Turn off the A40 to Old Oak Common Lane: the local area will not be able to cope with the extra vehicles generated due to the diversions imposed

Addressing the issue raised

For safety reasons and to keep traffic flowing, some right turns have been banned on the ORN and PRN. It is in combination with a range of other temporary measures including the Games Lanes, changes to traffic signal operations, suspension of bus stops/lanes and changes to pedestrian crossings. After working with the borough and other key stakeholders we have planned, as far as possible, measures which we see are the best solution for each specific area. If, additional mitigation measures are required, this can be discussed and resolved with the local authority. While people with local knowledge may choose not to follow the alternate route signage, there will be clear expectations for the majority of traffic to follow the marked diversions.

4.2.4 Issue - impact on emergency services

Five respondents mentioned their concerns about emergency services vehicles being inconvenienced by the proposals. Example comments:

the cut through on approach to Hanger Lane should remain open as it is used by ambulances and emergency vehicles.

Doctors, nurses, health visitors, judges, local council officials, policemen and emergency utilities workers all have far more important roles than "athletes, officials and media". Their need for timeliness outweigh than those of Olympic staff

Congestion will worsen if the area (the two lane area of the A40 between Wales Farm Road) is reduced to one lane, especially around Savoy Circus and Du Cane Rd Junctions. Ambulances will not be able to get through to Hammersmith Hospital quickly.

Page 11: Public Engagement on Olympic Route ... - TfL Consultations...Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on the ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA),

11

the closing of Coronation Road (Western Gateway to Park Royal) to traffic with the exception of the emergency services is a mistake. This will re-route all traffic from the A40 and North Circular road, hospital visitors, workers and industrial traffic wishing to access the Park Royal industrial estate, further down the Western Avenue to Gypsy Corner.

Addressing the issue raised

We agree it is vital that emergency services (on a emergency call) are able to travel safely and quickly across the city and they will be able to access the Games Lanes, and as during planning for all major events in London, we are working closely with our partners to make sure this is carefully considered. We are in ongoing talks with representatives from the emergency services and other key stakeholders. TfL is intending to remove the proposed westbound Games Lanes between Old Oak Common and the A4000 Wales Farm Road to ensure general traffic operates continuously in two lanes.

4.2.5 Issue – Other themes

There were a range of other themes (albeit with smaller respondent numbers than those themes described above). In summary:

Need for good public information, advance warning and effective on-street signage

Disagree with ORN in general and the principle of special treatment for Games family

ORN timings should be reviewed to make them flexible/less time in operation

Concern with potential rat-running/congestion on residential roads

Negative impact on pedestrians/elderly being able to cross road, due to signal timing changes

Special dispensation required for cyclists to be able to turn right where other vehicles are banned in doing so

Concern about impact on public transport (increased passenger congestion/slower public transport times)

Suggestions that parking should be banned in certain locations to alleviate congestion during Games time

Accessibility requirements of disabled and elderly people must be fully thought through

Some positive feedback, for example: o ORN will be good for traffic flow o Will bring about increased use of public transport o Opportunity for resurfacing certain roads that currently require

maintenance

Addressing the issue raised

12

As part of its Host City Contract, London 2012 is required to provide secure and reliable transport services to members of the Games Family. This is to ensure the people who ‘make the Games happen’ can reach their venues within the journey times specified in the Contract, and in time for their events. As we get closer to the Games, there will be wide spread communication and advance warning of the changes as well as advice for people to think about how they can minimise the impact to their own journeys. The measures will be monitored on a day by day basis and in some instances, may be lifted early or amended if it is safe and sensible to do so. For example, on the A40 it would be unsafe to allow cyclists to turn right at a banned turn, but in some other areas it may be practical. We want to deliver a fantastic London 2012 Games for everyone and these temporary measures are an important part of the strategy to keep London moving. The plans have been worked through with a range of stakeholders and are still undergoing the final checks.

5 Responses from statutory bodies and other stakeholders

5.1 Angie Bray MP

Felt that there needed to be more flexibility in the hours of restricted road use for non-Olympic general traffic and questioned why the roads couldn’t be opened up for longer in the morning and earlier in the evening? Addressing the issue raised The ORN and PRN will provide reliable journey times for the athletes and officials between competition and accommodation venues. The hours have been set bearing in mind the set up and finish times of events and the travel required moving the Games family to and from the venues across London and beyond. The measures will be monitored on a day by day basis and in some instances, may be lifted early or amended if it is safe and sensible to do so. 5.2 Park Royal Partnerships

Stated that it is essential that access is maintained to the Park Royal Industrial Estate to allow a 24 hours/ 7days operation of business. They felt the proposed closure of Coronation Road would have an extremely disruptive effect on the Industrial Estate.

Page 13: Public Engagement on Olympic Route ... - TfL Consultations...Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on the ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA),

13

Addressing the issue raised Our technical team have looked again at this area and decided to maintain access into Coronation Road which may alleviate this issue for the industrial Estate. The ORN team are working with the TfL road freight operations unit to arrange a separate session to communicate these changes within the estate. 5.3 Langdale Gardens Residents Association

Felt Drivers would need good advance warning of these measures and were concerned that the road narrowing on A40 towards Hanger Lane will only create even more congestion bring it even more further back towards the east, which is what occurs at present when there is a match at Wembley . They also asked TfL to consider resurfacing the above stretch of the A40 as it is not in a good state of repair.

Addressing the issue raised As we get closer to the Games, there will be wide spread communication and advance warning of the changes as well as advice for people to think about how they can minimise the impact to their own journeys. Clear signs will be placed along the route during the Games. The measures are part of an overall traffic management plan to keep the main routes running as smoothly as possible. They may cause some impact in other areas for short periods, but the overall effect is to keep London moving.

5.4 London Visual Impairment Forum (are responding to all Phase one

schemes)

Were responding to all Phase 1 schemes and were concerned about the effect of side road closures and CPZ on local disabled people. They would welcome steps to allow buses in Olympic lanes as blind and partially sighted people are dependent on public transport and they made requests that temporary bus stops to be introduced whenever it is necessary to suspend usual bus stop. Addressing the issue raised Transport for London will ensure the temporary measures are safe for all users and inconvenience is minimised as much as possible. We are working with a number of partners to find solutions on a case by case basis, so each area’s measures are tailored to the local conditions. Clear signage and advance warning of the changes for motorists and pedestrians are part of the ongoing arrangements. 5.5 White City Community Centre

ORN will mean people choose to use public transport rather than cars, these

measures could encourage continued use of public transport after the Games have

ceased.

Addressing the issue raised

Page 14: Public Engagement on Olympic Route ... - TfL Consultations...Transport for London (TfL), acting as the delivery partner on the ORN and PRN for the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA),

We certainly hope people will continue to use public transport after the Games.

Around £6.5bn has been invested in improving existing transport links and building

new ones where needed, across London and the UK. This work will help tens of

thousands of spectators get to and from the Games each day (London 2012 is

aiming for 100% of spectators to get to the Games by public transport or by walking

or cycling), keep London and the UK moving, and is already providing an early

legacy of better transport options, particularly for people living in east London, which

will continue long after the 2012 Games

6 Conclusion and actions from engagement

6.1 Conclusions and actions

TfL has considered the feedback provided and is taking it into account in developing the detailed designs. In particular, concerns were made about the proposed closure of Coronation Road Bridge between Park Royal and the A40 Western Avenue and the potential impacts this closure would have on the Park Royal Industrial Estate. In response, TfL’s technical team have looked again at this area and decided the Park Royal Industrial Estate entrance and exit would be reopened to general traffic. However, in order to mitigate the impact on the Olympic Route Network (ORN) the traffic signals are proposed to manage demand from the Industrial Estate, by operating on a minimum green time. In addition,, the proposed Games on the A40 Western Avenue will be removed between the A4000 Wales Farm Road and Old Oak Common.

6.2 Next steps

TfL will continue consultation with the community and local stakeholders as part of the process of making Traffic Regulation Orders. Traffic Regulation Orders will follow the statutory process set out in the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and will be made by the Olympic Delivery Authority using powers set out in the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006. LOCOG have made a recent request seeking an uplift of Games Lane operational times on the A40 to 06:00 to 00:00 (midnight), to coincide with the latest competition times. The A40 Games Lanes for this TOG will include a modification of hours from 06:00 to 23:00 to 06:00 to 00:00 (midnight).

Our Ref: 15/ HAM/ 002

08 March 2011

Dear Resident,

Changes to roads in your area for the London 2012 Games

Background

During the summer next year London will be staging the world’s largest sporting event as the host city for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Top athletes from all over the world will be coming to compete at venues all over the UK. Up to 10 million spectators will flock to the events and around 4 billion people around the world are expected to watch the Games on TV.

At the same time, it is essential that Londoners can go about their everyday lives with the minimum of disruption. Transport is vital to making the Games a success and a multi-billion pound investment programme is improving public transport and the road network.

Olympic Route Network

At the heart of the Games are the athletes, officials and media who have to get to events safely and on time. To achieve this, they will travel on a network of roads that link venues and accommodation, called the Olympic Route Network. A smaller version will operate during the Paralympic Games when fewer venues will be in use. These roads will be open to general traffic and will be kept clear of obstructions, such as road works.

The Olympic Route Network is needed in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham to provide a link to Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena via the A40. It is likely to operate from mid July to mid August 2012.

To keep traffic moving on these priority routes, there will be some temporary changes to the way the road can be used. These proposed changes are:

• Games Lanes on parts of the A40 (generally from 6am – 11pm) which could mean that general traffic may experience queuing delays

• Banned right turn into Old Oak Road off A40 where general traffic will be required to

use alternative routes

• More changes are also proposed for other sections on the A40 Western Avenue and the A4 in Hammersmith where more details can be found on our website.
