We're calling on Barking & Dagenham Council to implement a 20mph limit and controlled parking zones borough-wide to increase safety of non-drivers.
Write to your next council leader today - demand rapid and bold changes for people and planet.
2022’s council elections are a vital point 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 Barking & Dagenham to do their bit. That’s why we’re calling on the council’s next leader to commit to cutting road transport emissions fast and enabling lots more walking, cycling and wheeling.
1. 20 MPH
We're calling on Barking & Dagenham Council to implement a 20mph limit and controlled parking zones borough-wide to increase safety of non-drivers.
2. Safe Space For Cycling
We're calling on Barking & Dagenham Council to develop a long-term behaviour change strategy of physical change to enable behaviour change, including creating protected cycle lanes on strategic routes and zones for local traffic only.
3. Secure Cycle Parking
We're calling on Barking & Dagenham to increase high-quality, secure and accessible cycle parking in residential areas, especially high-density zones, and in retail/social hubs and centres, and roll out a borough-wide cycle share scheme including e-cycles and e-cargo cycles.
4. Shared Mobility
We're calling on Barking & Dagenham to rapidly roll out shared mobility points and cut freight motor vehicle movements by at least 10% on council managed roads.
5. Safeguard Land
We're calling on Barking & Dagenham to safeguard land for active travel, and the infrastructure required to support active travel, including mobility hubs, rest areas, delivery/pick up points and last mile delivery centres.
