Hounslow Council says it wants to hear the views of people who use Brentford and Isleworth rail stations.
It is running a public consultation with a deadline of the end of June for responses.
Last year, it received funding from South Western Railway’s (SWR) Customers and Communities Improvement Fund (CCIF) to undertake feasibility work to improve the forecourts at both stations. The aim will be to improve accessibility and safety and to create spaces that are welcoming and balance the needs of various transport modes and users. Consideration will be given to street furniture, cycle parking, wayfinding and planting to improve the surrounding public realm.
This builds on the recent work at Isleworth station to provide lifts for step free access to the platforms.
The council’s transport planning team have been working with designers and engineers at Systra to produce concept designs for Brentford and Isleworth respectively.
