Coulsdon West Residents' Association

The latest stage of the Mayor’s Streetspace for London scheme.

This will open up new walking and cycling corridors to help the city’s transport network cope with the impact of coronavirus and social distancing, as people return to work with the easing of lockdown.

Please refer to our document Emerging London Streetspace Plan for Cycle Routes 

We are encouraging people to continue working from home wherever possible. However, given the impact of social distancing on the public transport network, we want to help Londoners walk and cycle as much as possible.

·         We are creating one of the largest low-traffic areas in the world: car-free streets will transform roads across the capital

·         New walking and cycling corridors planned for London Bridge to Shoreditch, Euston to Waterloo and Old Street to Holborn. These would be limited to buses, pedestrians and cyclists

• Meanwhile in the past week alone, we have added around 5,000 square metres of extra space on footpaths across London, giving people space to safely walk and queue for local shops while maintaining social distancing
