transport strategy
Councils are currently reviewing kerbside management and rights of way, while some parking schemes are paused.
Islington Council's kerbside management strategy was scrutinised in September 2026 by the Environment, Climate and Transport Scrutiny Committee. Officers explained that each kerbside scheme is bespoke, developed using local evidence, consultation, and considering connectivity to cycle lanes, walking routes, and surrounding facilities. This approach aims to integrate transport elements within wider community contexts.
Separately, Enfield Council paused several planned Controlled Parking Zone schemes indefinitely in November 2025, including Edmonton Green North and Alma Estate, as detailed in a council officers' report. The Bowes East Quieter Neighbourhood project was also paused in March 2025. Meanwhile, Barnet Council's Cabinet approved the Rights of Way Improvement Plan 2025-2035 in September 2025, aiming to create a more accessible path network.
These developments reflect councils' ongoing work on their transport strategies, which are overarching plans outlining how they manage and develop transport infrastructure, services, and policies. These strategies typically set objectives for street safety, accessibility, and sustainable transport within their boroughs.
