Greenwich seeks to create accessible transport network

The Royal Borough of Greenwich is asking residents, businesses and community groups to share feedback on its draft transport strategy, which aims to help improve safety, efficiency and sustainability.

The strategy sets out how the borough can deliver improvements on its network of roads, cycle routes and public transport services. It includes a variety of proposals to help encourage walking and cycling, reduce traffic, improve air quality, and support the rollout of ultra-low emission vehicles.

The council says it is vital people have an accessible, sustainable transport network which enables them to choose more active and healthy transport options.

Cllr Averil Lekau, deputy leader and cabinet member for climate change, environment and transport, said: “I would encourage local people to get involved and have their say, to make sure the strategy reflects the issues that are most important to you and help us identify where we can make improvements to transport around the borough.”
