2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results
Harrow rose from 28th to 27th place this year, although its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score was almost unchanged, slipping from 2.20 to 2.19 out of 10. The borough remains near the bottom of the rankings, with only limited progress on the main input indicators.
There were some positives. 20mph coverage rose from 28.0% to 31.0%, and CPZ coverage increased slightly to 28.1% after minor additions and boundary changes. Harrow’s strongest result is Travel for Life participation, which rose sharply from 27.3% to 47.4%, one of the best scores in London. The polluting-vehicle measure also improved from 6.35 to 6.10.
However, most of the borough’s practical Healthy Streets measures remain weak. LTN coverage is unchanged at 12.5%, Harrow still has only three School Streets covering 4.2% of schools, protected cycle track coverage remains just 1.8%, and bus priority is low at 7.1%. Sustainable modeshare fell to 57.6%, the proportion of adults walking regularly fell below 30%, and cycling participation remains very low, with last year’s score carried over because of limited new data. Harrow’s limited gains are welcome, but they have not yet shifted the borough out of the lower end of the Scorecard.
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.
