This already happens in the parts of London where there is a safe, connected cycle network.
We asked the candidates to be your council’s next leader to commit to building a cycle network across the borough if elected on the 7th of May.
Thanks to members and supporters, we got pledges of support from candidates all over London!
Cllr Grace Williams
Borough: Waltham Forest
Party: Labour
Pledge: Waltham Forest is one of the leading active travel boroughs in London and the UK. Our pioneering work whether in infrastructure delivery, complementary measures or behaviour change, continues to mark Waltham Forest as the ‘go too, place’ for others from across London, the UK and Europe to see what can be achieved with funding and bold political leadership.
Neil Reynolds
Borough: Ealing
Party: Green
Pledge: Ealing Green Party pledge our support for a safe east-west priority cycle route from Southall through to the east of the borough and beyond by 2030 at the very latest, along with spurs to other towns north and south of that route.

Victor Chamberlain
Borough: Southwark
Party: Liberal Democrats
Pledge: Liberal Democrats are passionate about making it easier to get around Southwark by walking, cycling, or by public transport. We strongly believe in investing in infrastructure that makes those choices easier, and building those options in full consultation with local communities so any necessary changes to road layouts have the full support of local people.
SEE WHO'S PLEDGED
Our local groups all over London asked council leadership candidates to pledge to build a safe, connected cycle network if elected on the 7th of May.
Cycling should be safe everywhere and fun for everyone across London.
Achieving that is simple: you need to build a safe, connected cycle network, with a mix of low traffic streets and protected space for cycling on main roads. Do that, and you make cycling for anyone and everyone.
Council leaders have the power to make this happen and the funds available for it. So we kept it simple this council elections and asked council leaders to complete the core cycling network Transport for London has identified for your borough by 2030.
