2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results

Redbridge rose from 26th to 25th place this year, even though its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score fell from 2.61 to 2.54 out of 10. The change in rank should therefore not be read as a clear improvement: the borough remains near the lower end of the Scorecard, with gains on some indicators offset by weaker outcomes elsewhere.

There were some signs of an increase in the rate of delivery. Redbridge added seven School Streets, increasing coverage from 30.7% to 37.4%, one of the stronger results in Outer London. 20mph coverage rose from 23.0% to 26.1%, and CPZ coverage increased slightly to 18.0%. Travel for Life participation also improved to 35.7%, and the polluting-vehicle measure improved from 6.48 to 6.27.

However, many indicators remain weak. LTN coverage is unchanged at 15.5%, protected cycle track coverage remains very low at 1.5%, and bus priority is among the lowest in London at 2.8%, with no improvement recorded this year. Sustainable modeshare fell from 62.6% to 60.9%, cycling participation fell to 6.5%, and casualty-rate indicators worsened. Redbridge has made welcome progress around schools, but it still needs much stronger delivery on safer speeds, controlled parking, bus priority and protected cycling.

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.
