We're calling on Sutton Council to deliver cycle-friendly town centres
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 Sutton 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.

We're calling on Sutton to remove and manage through motor traffic to create safer streets for residents, especially children, Disabled people, and non-drivers
4. 20 MPH
We're calling for borough-wide 20mph speed limit to make all streets and junctions safer for people to get around and use their nearest outdoor environment safely and actively
5. Reduce Motor Traffic
We're calling on Sutton to reduce movement and impact of private and delivery vehicles across the borough by setting up (1) shared mobility hubs and (2) freight consolidation centres and measures to reduce the carbon footprint of deliveries and servicing and to reduce freight vehicle movements by 10% by 2026.
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.
