Take action: support the Bow Liveable Streets consultation

The borough is currently consulting on ambitious low-traffic neighbourhood proposals for Bow. It's really heartening to see such good plans being put forward, which prioritise walking, cycling, public transport and community above private car use. However there has already been some vocal opposition to the scheme, and it won’t go ahead unless supporters also make their voices clearly heard.

Walking & cycling during Covid-19 - our call to change streets for people

Submitted by julie on 14 May 2020
Old Ford Road filter

We have published our call to LBTH and TfL to act in the face of the pandemic, to reshape our streets with a people focussed approach.

We identify measures that are urgently needed:

  1. The removal of railings and street clutter to ensure social distancing,
  2. Bans on parking and loading to widen pavements around shops and supermarkets,
  3. The creation of temporary cycle lanes, the re-timing of pedestrian crossings and traffic intersections,
  4. Street closures for high streets.

Act now to support the Bethnal Green Liveable Streets scheme

Submitted by alex on 17 November 2019

Plans for the Bethnal Green Liveable Streets scheme are currently out for consultation, closing on Monday 25 November. The proposals were discussed at the last Tower Hamlets Wheelers meeting, and the consensus was that they were excellent – perhaps some of the best plans the borough has ever put forward – and will be a real game-changer for active travel in the area.

Support Tower Hamlets’ draft Transport Strategy

Submitted by alex on 7 September 2019

Our borough has recently published its draft transport strategy 2019-41. The good news is that it’s really positive and ambitious on cutting car use and boosting walking and cycling. But in order for it to get adopted without being watered down, it needs your support today. The survey closes on Sunday 15 September.

Please respond to the consultation on Cable Street and Cycle Superhighway 3

Submitted by alex on 16 January 2018

A new consultation is out on changes to Cable St, including some improvements to Cycle Superhighway 3. Whilst we would like to see the scheme go further, there are some good proposals here, in particular a major improvement to the confusing junction with Sutton St and a new parallel pedestrian/cyclist zebra crossing and contraflow cycle lane at King David Lane.

The Borough is currently consulting on a “Neighbourhood Refresh” for the Weavers ward (the north-west corner of Tower Hamlets, around Columbia Road). A major aim of the Neighbourhood Refresh programme is to make roads safer, particularly for people cycling and walking. We think these proposals could be made a lot better, so we urge you to respond to the consultation by its closing date of 30 September. A suggested text is provided below.
