Newham and Waltham Forest Low Traffic Neighbourhood Scheme

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is an even more urgent need to improve London’s streets for walking and cycling, to reduce pressure on our road and public transport networks, and to support social distancing. With London’s public transport capacity currently significantly reduced, millions of journeys a day will need to be completed by other modes of transport.
Even if a small fraction of these are replaced by car journeys, roads will become heavily congested, air quality will worsen, and road danger will increase. That is why the London Boroughs of Newham and Waltham Forest are working together to create people-friendly streets and neighbourhoods in the Forest Gate, Maryland and South Leytonstone areas.
