2022-2026 is a vital stage in London’s zero-carbon journey. Motor vehicles are the largest and most stubborn source of London’s emissions, and borough councils control 95% of the city’s roads. We need all our councils to act in the next four years and be bold – or it’ll be too late to get to zero carbon roads by 2030. That’s what’s needed for London and Bromley to do their bit.
That’s why we developed specific, personalised asks for each London borough council in the 2022 council elections to cut road transport emissions fast and enable lots more walking, cycling and wheeling.

AIM FOR BROMLEY
We ask Bromley Council to develop and implement an active travel strategy designed, inter alia, to increase the share of cycling from approx. 1.8% of trips to 5% by 2026/27, with continued increases thereafter. The strategy will define how this will be achieved and could include components such as...
ASK 1. Safe Travel Shared By All
We're calling on Bromley Council to make it safe for people to walk, wheel and cycle round the borough by introducing 20mph on many more residential roads particularly around schools, parks, and local shopping parades.
ASK 2. Clear Roads For All
We're calling on Bromley Council to reduce road congestion, by enabling people to travel by cycle instead of by car, by fixing the top five dangerous junctions which currently make cycling unattractive as a mode of travel.
ASK 3. Active Travel For The Kids
We're calling on Bromley to identify and prioritise safe cycling routes to schools that have achieved TfL Gold Star status. Also include secondary schools as young people just learning to travel independently are most at risk from traffic danger.
ASK 4. Active Travel For Shoppers
We're calling for safe cycling routes to main town centres, recognising that research shows people who walk, wheel and cycle to shops spend more than those who go in SUVs.
ASK 5. Active Travel For All
We're calling on Bromley to plan and implement a comprehensive cycle network to the highest standards.
ASK 6. Collaboration
We're calling on Bromley to work with neighbouring boroughs and leverage the support of TfL to create cross boundary cycle routes.

I joined the London Cycling Campaign Climate Safe Streets work because I love cycling and at the same time doing my bit for the climate. I find it really important to campaign locally to make the streets safer for cyclists so that more people will ride a bicycle instead of using a car.
