Transport Policy
Hammersmith and Fulham Council is currently establishing its new Climate, Sustainability and Travel Policy and Accountability Committee to tackle emissions and improve transport.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's new Climate, Sustainability and Travel Policy and Accountability Committee, which addresses strategies and plans for managing and developing transportation systems, held its inaugural meeting in June 2026. It set targets for the 2026/27 municipal year to tackle emissions and improve transport across the borough, outlining a proposed work programme.
A report presented to the Hammersmith and Fulham committee in June 2026 highlighted significant challenges in achieving net-zero ambitions, stating that the council has limited control over key levers such as energy pricing, national regulation, and vehicle standards. Separately, the Housing & Regeneration Scrutiny Sub Committee of Tower Hamlets Council is scheduled to discuss transport policy on October 5, 2026.
