Call for information for our 2024 Scorecard
At the end of last month, the Healthy Streets Scorecard team sent out requests for data for the 2024 Scorecard to all London boroughs.
We have asked for input on School Streets, LTNs, Controlled Parking Zones, Cycle lanes and Bus lanes.
If you have information to share about new (in the last year) schemes in your borough we would value your input, as not all councils respond. We ask you check the maps (links in paragraph above) to make sure we haven’t already included the scheme.

More 20mph speed limits
Another large batch of 20mph speed limits are going in on Red Route roads before April 2024.
Details and images of big sections in Wandsworth and Richmond here.
Just the Ticket
A recent webinar recording to watch is the Transport Planning Society’s webinar on parking policy – Just the Ticket. The recording includes their report on how to use parking policy better to encourage behaviour change towards lower carbon travel and has guest speaker CPRE London’s Alice Roberts presenting on ‘Parking policy time for change’.
London Cycling Campaign’s Mayoral campaign launch, coming soon!
Look out for LCC’s Mayoral campaign launching early April with a video themed to fit with the campaign on how much London has embraced cycling and how joyous it is. The film will be joined by a series of social media activities we’re asking LCC members, supporters and allies to join in with all around how much London loves cycling (it’s now an utterly mainstream mode of transport with ~1.26m journeys cycled daily, equivalent to a third of all tube journeys), and at the end of April, a big ride around iconic London landmarks.
