Work underway on Richmond Cycle Hub

A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Tuesday 25 February to officially mark the start of works on a new cycle hub at Richmond Station. 

The multi-storey facility is a partnership between Richmond Council and South Western Railway, providing parking for up to 700 bikes. 

We have contributed £664,000 to the scheme, which will help promote sustainable transport and improve local infrastructure. 

In addition to its impressive capacity, the hub will be powered by solar panels and feature a water reclamation system, supporting environmental sustainability. 

Councillor Alexander Ehmann, Chair of Richmond Council's Transport and Air Quality Committee, said:

"We are delighted to support this initiative and see it come into being with works now starting on site. The Cycle Hub at Richmond Station will make it easier for residents to choose sustainable travel options and help reduce congestion on our roads to improve local air quality. We are hope to see more of these types of partnerships across the borough so we can continue to enhance our local infrastructure to meet the growing needs of our community."
