Cycling Infrastructure
Councils are currently discussing the impact of transport schemes and approving new cycle facilities.
Wandsworth Council is currently discussing the cumulative impact of various transport schemes, including potential safety issues, particularly in areas like Putney High Street. In September 2026, councillors on the Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee raised concerns, and the Cabinet Member for Transport stated that officers have been asked to consider these effects.
Meanwhile, Newham Council approved a significant road safety and cycling scheme for Romford Road in August 2026. The Corporate Director of Environment & Sustainable Transport decided to implement the Romford Road Public Realm Improvement Scheme, which includes introducing segregated cycle facilities and upgrading signalised parallel pedestrian and pedal cycle crossings.
No specific discussions on cycling infrastructure are currently scheduled in upcoming council meetings. Cycling infrastructure refers to the physical structures and facilities, such as bike lanes and paths, that support and encourage cycling.
