We are responding to the climate emergency, dealing with London's air quality crisis, trying to end injuries and deaths in London from road traffic collisions and tackling many other issues that come from the way streets are used at the moment. We are investing in the Loughborough area, to make it safer and healthier for local people and businesses by reducing traffic and making it easier to walk, cycle and use public transport. Below you will find the proposed design changes to be implemented on Loughborough Road.
What is a Healthy Route?‘First and foremost, a healthy route has the right conditions to enable more people to walk and cycle. A healthy route links people with places they need to get to, such as schools, workplaces, amenities and shops. A healthy route is convenient, attractive, feels safe and is accessible to all.’ (Lambeth Transport Strategy, 2019)

Please leave a comment. You will have until the 20th of March 2022We welcome your feedback before moving on to the detailed design stages. We will also be out and about in the area. At the end of this engagement stage, we will review the feedback we have received and make any necessary changes to the design proposals. This may include additional improvements, where budget allows. Then, once approved by the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Transport, Environment and Clean Air, the scheme will be implemented.
In the future we will have further rounds to look at details and specific impacts while working with the community, namely on the development of placemaking opportunities along Loughborough Road.
With your help we will raise awareness on the major issues and improvements previously discuss. In parallel, we will develop further supporting services.
