"Nightmare" traffic on Putney and Chiswick bridges....

"Nightmare" traffic on Putney and Chiswick bridges means emergency care hard to providewww.putneysw15.com/default.asp?section=info&page=issuehammersmithbridge008.htmI also think the paragraph that says police no longer willing to provide escorts in cases of emergency...  Frightening!

It's not just a nightmare, it's practically impossible.  Tailbacks driving from Putney to Kew or Chiswick Bridges start just past Barnes and continue to Chalkers Corner.  You have to allow AT LEAST an extra half hour.  It all depends on the traffic lights at Chalkers Corner, perhaps TfL need to change the frequence??

That's a good idea Bunny. I've contacted tfl in the past when the lights at the Red Rover junction have gone a bit awry, and have been impressed with their responsiveness. I think this is the form to use: https://tfl.gov.uk/help-and-contact/contact-us-about-streets-and-other-road-issues

I thought that arrangements were being made to inform and help patients having to cross the river for the hospitals.  There are arrangements put in place for the emergency services - so why does this not include on-call specialist surgeons?
