2026 Healthy Streets Scorecard results

Wandsworth remains 13th overall this year, with its final Healthy Streets Scorecard score falling from 5.45 to 5.27 out of 10. The borough still has some strong baseline conditions, but the score fall reflects worsening casualty-rate indicators and weaker movement on several of the measures councils control most directly.

There are clear positives. 20mph coverage is effectively complete, bus priority remains relatively strong at 30.1%, and sustainable modeshare rose to 74.9%, although this is still below the level expected of stronger Inner London boroughs. The proportion of adults walking regularly remains high at 42.0%, despite falling this year, and cycling participation rose to 22.1%, likely buoyed by the growth of dockless e-bike hire. Car ownership is also relatively low by London-wide standards.

However, Wandsworth continues to lag behind many Inner London peers on several delivery indicators. LTN coverage is low at 17.2%, protected cycle track coverage remains negligible at 3.3%, and CPZ coverage has not increased, remaining at 66.6%. School Street coverage is 27.5%, with two new schemes offset by two removed from our total because they are not enforced, and Travel for Life participation remains weak. Wandsworth’s results show a borough with strong travel behaviour in some areas, but still too little recent progress on traffic reduction, protected cycling, controlled parking and properly enforced School Streets.

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.
