Prudential Ride London comes to Raynes Park - 10 August 2014

Once again, the route of the Prudential Ride London will be taking the 100 mile cycle challenge through Raynes Park. This will mean road closures, bus diversions and parking restrictions in our area on the day. Whilst the official information (follow this link) says that roads will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so on the day, as we're on the return leg of the route, coming back from deepest Surrey, don't expect things to return to normal until late afternoon.

You may have already received a leaflet about this event. This gives a contact number to call, 0845 8949773 (Mon - Fri; 09:00 - 17:00), if you have a specific access question. This will be particularly important if you are planning a wedding or similar event in our area. Also, you may wish to find out more if you are planning to use a taxi for an airport run and the like. Some limitations on access will apply, even if you plan simply to walk to or from Raynes Park station on the day.

Your plans for the day could also be affected in other ways. For example, carers of people living near the route may also wish to check things out.

If you live north of Coombe Lane or Worple Road, you'll be inside the loop of the route. So this will affect you, no matter which route you might wish to take for access or egress.

 The official website also has another telephone number, email address etc under "Contact Us".
