Cycling Infrastructure

29 stories · discussed at 189 council meetings · 32 councils

Councils are discussing the safety and cumulative impact of transport schemes, while also approving new segregated cycle facilities.

In September 2026, Wandsworth councillors discussed safety concerns and the cumulative impact of various transport schemes, including cycling infrastructure, across the borough. The Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee heard Councillor Zara Wiles voice concerns, which Cabinet Member for Transport, Councillor Nick Austin, acknowledged.

Newham Council approved a road safety and cycling scheme for Romford Road in August 2026. The project, approved by the Corporate Director of Environment & Sustainable Transport, will introduce segregated cycle facilities and upgraded signalised parallel pedestrian and pedal cycle facilities.

Looking ahead, Harrow's Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Panel is scheduled to meet in October 2026 to discuss related matters. Cycling infrastructure refers to the physical facilities and networks designed to support and encourage cycling.
