COVID-19 Transport plans

Lewisham's Transport Programme

During 2020/2021 the London Borough of Lewisham introduced a programme of measures to help the public stay safe making essential trips on foot or by bicycle.

As everyday life seems to have returned to a more normal state, these measures are under review.

You can view the transport measures below and offer your opinion on them, as well as offer your suggestions to help us plan better spaces for walking and cycling.
