We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham Council to identify and build a high quality strategic local network to complement longer distance routes and respond to greatest need.
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 Hammersmith and Fulham 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. High Quality Cycle Network
We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham Council to identify and build a high quality strategic local network to complement longer distance routes and respond to greatest need.
2. Liveable Streets
We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham to deliver Liveable Streets quality low traffic neighbourhoods for all residential areas in the borough and expand their reach and pace of delivery to 3 in 2022, 5 in 2023, to full coverage by 2025.
3. School Streets
We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham to change the onus of school streets so that they are the default option at all schools.
4. Safe Junctions
We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham to improve the most dangerous junctions in the borough to high standards and provide pedestrian signals at all signalised junctions as well as cut freight motor vehicle movements by 25% by 2026.
5. Secure Cycle Parking
We're calling on Hammersmith and Fulham to make it easier and cheaper to park a cycle than it is to park a car everywhere in the borough and expand the delivery of secure cycle parking to provide the equivalent of 1% of the available car parking spaces eg. 4,000 places by 2025.
I have been cycling to work and for fun for many years. This is very important to me because it allows me to enjoy the freedom and to be independent, knowing the duration of my journeys with only few minutes of uncertainty, also helps me to be fit. It also makes me feel that I am giving a positive contribution to slow down the climate change and I am doing something that my son and the future generations will be grateful for.

Every borough in London must take action now, to decarbonise London's roads by 2030. Tell your next council leader to commit to the necessary bold action in the next four years. Because if they're not acting now, by 2026 it'll be too late to catch up on the climate crisis!
