Local Implementation Plan
Kingston Council is working to secure Local Implementation Plan funding from Transport for London for bus route improvements and cycle parking.
In November 2025, Kingston Council was preparing to submit bids for Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding from Transport for London (TfL) to support sustainable transport initiatives. This included assessing the feasibility of installing additional cycle parking on its housing estates, with information to be shared with ward councillors before a formal bid. A draft LIP Programme was submitted by October 2025.
Also in November 2025, Kingston, Richmond, and Sutton councils jointly submitted a £10 million bid to Transport for London for bus route enhancements connecting their town centres. This Better Bus Partnerships bid aimed to improve bus journey times and increase ridership. Work on proposed schemes from both the LIP Programme and the tri-borough bus improvement bid was planned to commence in April 2026.
