  • The Council, in cooperation with neighbouring boroughs, will seek to reduce the impact of larger lorries in local residential areas and town centres and investigate the feasibility of a freight distribution hub;
  • Improvements to the Piccadilly, Victoria and Northern Lines including new trains, new signalling and new control centres;
  • Improvements to overground routes along West Anglia, East Coast (Great Northern) and Barking - Gospel Oak line that service the centre and east of the borough;

Delivering Action on Climate Change and Quality and Healthy Places

In line with the London Plan, the Council will work with its partners to promote the following travel demand management schemes to tackle climate change, improve local place shaping and public realm, and environmental and transport quality and safety by:

  • Minimising congestion and addressing the environmental impacts of travel;
  • Promoting public transport, walking and cycling (including minimum cycle parking standards);
  • Promoting road safety and pedestrian movement particularly in town centres and close to local services;
  • Promoting car sharing and establishing car clubs;
  • Seeking to locate major trip generating developments in locations with good access to public transport and so better integrate transport and land use planning;
  • Adopting maximum car parking standards and car free housing wherever feasible;
  • Seeking to mitigate the impact of road based freight and promote alternatives;
  • Supporting measures to influence behavioural change such as promoting low carbon vehicles; and
  • Requiring the submission of transport assessments and travel plans for large scale proposals in line with TfL guidance.
