A council has agreed to fund a new cycle lane along the A4 from Brentford.

The King Street route will be delivered by TfL – despite TfL's funding problems - and will become part of its Cycleway 9 scheme from Brentford to Kensington.

Hammersmith & Fulham Council had been consulting on the idea of having two new cycle lanes, along the A4 and a route through King Street.

The consultation conclude that the A4 would be a better route, as cyclists already use its wide pavement, and because it would be less disruptive to traffic.

Councillor Iain Cassidy said Hammersmith and Fulham Council will take over the A4 scheme.

He said: "I fully appreciate that it is a core part of the whole scheme and the council remains committed to implementing a cycle route along the A4."
