Cycling Infrastructure
Councils are progressing new cycling infrastructure schemes while addressing concerns about existing transport changes.
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's Cabinet agreed in October 2026 to support Transport for London's (TfL) Permanent Cycleway 9 (C9) scheme on Hammersmith Road, with TfL funding and delivering the £20 million project. Separately, Newham Council approved a road safety and cycling scheme for Romford Road in August 2026, which includes new segregated cycle facilities following a statutory consultation period.
Meanwhile, Wandsworth Council's Transport Overview and Scrutiny Committee discussed in September 2026 concerns about the cumulative impact of various transport schemes on areas like Putney High Street. Councillor Nick Austin, Cabinet Member for Transport, acknowledged these concerns, stating officers are considering the overall effect of these changes.
Looking ahead, the Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Panel in Harrow is scheduled to meet in October 2026, where cycling infrastructure is expected to be on the agenda. Cycling infrastructure encompasses facilities such as bike lanes and paths, designed to support and encourage cycling within the boroughs.
