We're calling on Ealing Council to define a borough cycle network that forms part of a London-wide cycle recommended network with high quality, inclusive design and protection suitable for cycle users of all ages and abilities.
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 Ealing 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.

ASK 1. Safe Cycle Network
We're calling on Ealing Council to define a borough cycle network that forms part of a London-wide cycle recommended network with high quality, inclusive design and protection suitable for cycle users of all ages and abilities.
ASK 2. People Friendly Streets
We're calling on Ealing Council to remove through motor traffic from all unclassified residential roads in the borough, to enable cycle users of all ages and abilities to access schools, services, and shops locally and to enable residents to make more use of their most immediate outdoor environments.
ASK 3. Comprehensive Planning
We're calling on Ealing to produce a comprehensive long-term plan for the road in front of Ealing Broadway station and Haven Green, as part of the current Local Plan review.
ASK 4. Accessible Traffic Calming
We're calling on Ealing to audit existing traffic calming measures including speed humps, point closures and barriers and upgrade those that do not comply with the London Cycle Design Standards requirements, or in the case of round top speed humps be removed.
ASK 5. Shared Mobility
We're calling for borough-wide shared mobility hubs/share scheme offering bookable e-cars, e-vans, e-bikes, e-cargo bikes, and e-scooters, to reduce the burden of car ownership on individuals and the local environment.
ASK 6. Last Mile
We're calling on Ealing to encourage use of cycles, e-bikes and e-cargo bikes for final mile deliveries in preference to petrol driven vans and motorcycles.

I became a Climate Safe Streets champion because we are running out of time to address climate change and need to radically change the way we live, including the way we travel. Cycling is an activity widely available to most people and has many benefits, and in addition, can be really fun!
