2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results

Hounslow remains in 19th place overall this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score almost unchanged, slipping from 3.94 to 3.92 out of 10. The borough continues to perform relatively well by Outer London standards, but gains on core Healthy Streets measures were offset by worsening casualty and modeshare indicators.

Hounslow is one of Outer London’s stronger boroughs on several input indicators. School Street coverage rose to 44.3%, the highest proportion in Outer London, and the borough added protected cycle tracks on Twickenham Road and Southall Lane, raising its cycle track score to a respectable 7.1%. 20mph coverage also increased to 91.5%, CPZ coverage is high for Outer London at 36.5%, and LTN coverage remains one of the strongest among Outer London boroughs.

These improvements were not enough to lift the overall score. Sustainable modeshare fell from 64.8% to 63.0%, and an increase in cyclist casualty rates offset gains elsewhere. Road danger remains a concern more broadly, with Hounslow recording the highest pedestrian casualty rate in London. Around 30% of adults walk regularly, while cycling participation has improved to 10.7%, taking Hounslow above many Outer London boroughs but still well below the strongest performers. Hounslow’s results show meaningful delivery on School Streets, safer speeds and cycling infrastructure, but the borough now needs this to translate into safer streets and stronger sustainable travel outcomes.

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.
