This scheme aims to provide alternative walking and cycling routes due to the ongoing closure of The Greenway, which is expected to continue until at least 2028 because of Thames Water's sewer works.
Separately, the council's Cabinet approved a comprehensive review of parking and kerbside space in July 2026. This twelve-month review will assess current policies to address evolving needs, including housing growth, regeneration, and changing travel patterns in Newham.
