Cardiff To Be First UK City To Introduce Extra Parking Fees For SUVs www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

In Wales, Cornwall, Edinburgh, London and so many places when most 30mph roads were changed to 20mph, people injured or killed by motor vehicles reduced by 20%+. With minimal change to journey times and £2bn saving in insurance costs it's a huge win. bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Now independent and Green councillors have joined the Tories in challenging the decision to make Greenwich’s low-traffic neighbourhood permanent - but for different reasons. greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/10/10/g...

A two-way cycle lane will be installed on the north side of the Greenwich one-way system after plans were approved by Anthony Okereke, the council leader. greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/10/09/g...

A growing body of research shows that 20mph is making our roads safer, reducing the number of people killed & seriously injured, while have little impact on journey times & no increase in pollution etc. But still the naysayers will kick off … see predicable comments below!

Well done to all the brilliant local councillors who have lowered the speed limits their roads to 20mph - often in the face of much hostility. There is now irrefutable evidence to show your bold decisions are saving lives. Thank you!

Impressive to see just how much work has started…

Questions to Council We asked two questions at the meeting on Wednesday, 24th September 2025 Question from Neil Robertson, Greenwich Cyclists, to Councillor Calum O'Byrne Mulligan, Cabinet Member for Climate Action, Sustainability & TransportThe TfL Travel for Life programme uses data to improve…

YouGov survey of 1,000+ Londoners, post-tube strike said 1/5 cycled during strikes, 1/4 will now cycle more, with ~35% of central & East Londoners embracing cycling. Those areas tend to have more safe cycle routes generally than other areas of London currently. www.standard.co.uk/news/transpo... 1/3

Traffic orders made for new cycle hangars Here are the details of all the new cycle hangars going in across Greenwich. It's great to see more secure cycle storage options. However, with 6 bikes per hangar and two hangers per car parking space, cyclists are paying the equivalent of £600 whereas the…

They aren’t just flower beds!!! Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & the effects of climate change. And don’t they look great when they’re finished? 💚🚲👍

This looks fantastic!

TfL has snuck out new case studies showing how Oslo & Helsinki have reduced fatal collisions to zero ('Vision Zero'). Mayor @london.gov.uk & @willnorman.co.uk aim for London to get there by 2041. Right at bottom of page: tfl.gov.uk/corporate/sa... Key takeaways? For Helsinki: do 20mph, but Oslo? 1/3

Drivers and bus users are being warned of delays until spring 2027 as construction work on the new Charlton to Woolwich cycleway begins this month.

Two years since ULEZ expanded London-wide, I’m proud the evidence has shown it’s been even more effective than expected in helping to improve the health of Londoners, support children's lung growth and ultimately save lives. See how air quality has improved near you:

Plumstead works Pettman Crescent Bridge underpass in Plumstead is currently closed to pedestrians and cyclists for improvements including new street lighting, CCTV and re-surfacing. Works are expected to last four months, so that’s around October/November for the project to finish. Diversions for…

Sustainable Streets The consultations for Shooters Hill and Plumstead have now closed early. The proposals have been withdrawn for those areas. There was a public petition against the proposals for controlled parking zones, as well as a demonstration. Car ownership and vehicle pollution in…

Plans to cut down more than 50 trees on Woolwich Common for a road widening project are still being pursued – but the NHS trust behind the scheme says it will plant 76 replacement trees instead.

🗞️ Great to see ITV London also running with the story - we need to start seeing more collaboration between councils when it comes to cycling!

👏 Big shout-out to @daraobriain.bsky.social for putting a spotlight on the many problems caused by councils chopping and changing e-bike hire licences! Our CEO Tom Fyans gave his thoughts on the issue to BBC London... 👇

🗺️ The Standard have attempted to fully map out the increasingly confusing e-bike zones... Conclusion? It's a mess, and it's a mess that that's driving riders mad!

The evidence is clear - 20mph zones save lives. In London, they’ve cut deaths and serious injuries by 34% and child fatalities by 75%. That's why we need to see more 20mph areas. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Sustainable Streets Following consultation, detailed designs have now been produced for Charlton, Kidbrooke and Blackheath, Plumstead, Shooters Hill, Thamesmead West, and Woolwich. In most areas, residents said they would like to cycle but don’t because they’re scared for their safety, discouraged…

Greenwich Council’s consultation on new controlled parking zones will be extended until the end of September. About 100 people demonstrated against the "sustainable streets" scheme outside Woolwich Town Hall on Wednesday evening. greenwichwire.co.uk/2025/07/24/g...

3 month Silvertown Tunnel data is in... Our analysis: for key routes in east A2/12/13, TfL's data says +1% overall motor traffic with Silvertown in the mix = no reduction despite tolling Blackwall. Just tolling Blackwall would've been a better approach 1/4

London’s low-traffic zones ‘cut deaths and injuries by more than a third’ As reported in The Guardian, low-traffic neighbourhoods cut road injuries and deaths by more than a third within their boundaries with no apparent negative safety effect on nearby roads, a study has shown.

Change is coming: new consultations We’re really pleased to say that we can expect a welcome wave of cycling-related consultations coming soon: indicators that Greenwich is focused on delivering positive change to make it safer to walk and cycle in Greenwich. The recent Transport and Place…

Cycle Training and Projects Coordinator role at Greenwich Council www.royalgreenwichcareers.com/jobdetails.a... This is an opportunity to play a key role in shaping the Council’s ambitions for the future transport network, implement high-profile schemes and maintain a strong grip on the delivery.

The report's authors calculate that creating the LTNs prevented more than 600 road injuries that would have otherwise taken place, including 100 involving death or serious injury. These are quite hard statistics to argue against.

NEW: Big study of low-traffic neighbourhoods in London suggest they cut road injuries and deaths by more than a third within their boundaries with no apparent negative safety effect on nearby roads. This feels a *major* boost for proponents of such schemes. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Greenwich Council has collected £2.5 million from nearly 48,000 penalty notices issued in its low-traffic neighbourhood in Greenwich and Blackheath, councillors have been told.

Cyclists riding through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel could face “substantial” fines if an agreement can be reached with Tower Hamlets, Greenwich councillors have been told. Greenwich had previously planned to allow considerate cycling in the tunnel.

Still time to feedback on the West and East Greenwich neighbourhood management trial before 24th June - support safer cycling and walking for all! greenersafergreenwich.commonplace.is/en-GB/propos...
