2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Croydon fell from 24th to 26th place this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score dropping from 2.92 to 2.50 out of 10. This was one of the largest falls in London, reflecting both the removal of schemes and corrections to records.
The most significant real-world change was the removal of six post-Covid LTNs, reducing LTN coverage from 30.0% to 27.3%. School Street numbers also fell from 52 to 46, leaving 30.9% of schools covered, although this was a correction to reporting rather than the removal of live schemes.
Croydon still has relatively strong 20mph coverage at 82.5%, and its School Street coverage remains above many Outer London boroughs despite the correction. But the wider picture is weak. CPZ coverage is just 20.3%, bus priority remains low at 7.3%, and protected cycle track coverage is minimal. Sustainable modeshare is only 53.2%, fewer than 30% of adults walk regularly, and cycling participation remains below 10%. Croydon’s results show the impact of losing established traffic filters, but also the need for stronger delivery across the input indicators.
The Healthy Streets Scorecard combines scores for ten indicators to create an overall Healthy Streets score for each borough. See the graph below for 2026 results (includes 2019–2025 results for comparison). For more detail visit the London-wide overview of the 2026 results. You can also:

Scorecard (factored score) chart explained
In the chart above, each borough has been given a factored score. Factor scores are composite variables which provide information about a borough’s placement on a scale. Factor scores are given by F=XB, where X is the indicator normalised score for a borough and B is the factor score coefficient (or weight). Each indicator is weighted as 1, or 0.5 if there are two parts to one indicator, for example Modeshare has a weighting of 1, Active travel – walking has a weighting of 0.5 and Active travel – cycling has a weighting of 0.5. The borough’s total factored score is the sum of all indicator factored scores which is then factored to 10 (multiplied by the number of indicators/10) to give a value on the scale between zero and 10. We can then compare boroughs against each other on the scale.
