Proposed Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Programme 2026/27
Kingston Council is seeking TfL funding for 2026/27 transport improvements, including cycle parking, roundabout redesigns, and bus route enhancements.
Kingston Council's Place Committee approved schemes for submission to Transport for London (TfL) in November 2025 as part of the Proposed Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Programme 2026/27. These include secure cycle parking in New Malden High Street and Coombe Road, and a redesign of Fountain Roundabout in New Malden to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Separately, Kingston, Richmond, and Sutton councils jointly submitted a £10 million bid to TfL in November 2025 for Better Bus Partnerships, aiming to enhance bus routes and infrastructure connecting their town centres. Work on all proposed schemes is expected to commence in April 2026, pending funding approval from Transport for London.
The Proposed Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Programme 2026/27 outlines Kingston Council's strategic transport policy and proposed schemes for inclusion in its funding bid submission to Transport for London. This programme is part of a wider three-year plan for transport improvements.
