We're calling on Kensington & Chelsea Council to create a safe borough-wide cycle network so that people of all ages and abilities can make their journeys safely by bike
Write to your next council leader today - demand rapid and bold changes for safer roads, people and planet.
2022’s council elections are a vital point for London’s journey towards streets that are safe for us all and the planet. Motor vehicles are the largest and most stubborn source of London’s emissions, are responsible for nearly all road danger, 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 or achieve a ‘Vision Zero’ of roads that don’t routinely injure or kill residents. That’s what’s needed for London and Kensington & Chelsea to do their bit. That’s why we’re calling on the council’s next leader to commit to cutting road danger and roads transport emissions fast and enabling lots more walking, cycling and wheeling.
1. Safe Cycle Network

3. Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
We're calling on Kensington & Chelsea to remove through traffic from residential streets by creating low traffic neighbourhoods for all residential areas in the borough
4. People-Friendly High Streets
We're calling on Kensington & Chelsea to create people-friendly high streets where walking, cycling and spending time are safe and attractive
5. Secure Cycle Parking
We're calling on Kensington & Chelsea to make it easier and cheaper to park a cycle than it is to park a car everywhere in the borough
Our Climate Safe Streets Champions are campaigning to make a real difference in their boroughs on action on cycling and climate. They're taking the lead on this campaign to engage with candidates and the public to ensure climate is at the top of the agenda for this election.

“I am more than happy to commit to your proposals.
RBKC is one of the most dangerous and unwelcoming boroughs for cyclists and other active travellers in the whole of London.
I run as a Green Party candidate to change this.”
Every borough in London must take action now, to decarbonise London's roads by 2030 and make them safe for everyone. 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!
