Upcoming projects
Boston Road
As part of our Transport Strategy and Local Improvement Plans, supported by Transport for London (TfL), we are working to improve the Boston Road area to make it safer and more accessible for everyone.
These plans have been developed in line with the Travel in Ealing Charter, with input from local residents and businesses.
Key improvements include:
- making the southern section of Boston Road and Lower Boston Road fully accessible for cyclists, removing a major barrier to cycling in the area
- enhancing safety for cyclists along the rest of Boston Road, within the limits of available space
- creating safer and more convenient crossing points for both cyclists and pedestrians
- supporting cycling to and from local schools
- reducing cycling on pavements that are not designated for shared use
- aligning with the Mayor of London and Ealing Council’s transport strategies to promote sustainable travel - walking, cycling, and public transport
Next steps:
- works on Elthorne Park Road and Haselmere Avenue are scheduled for completion by December 2026
- the main scheme will begin in February 2026, starting at Boston Manor Station
- once the construction schedule is confirmed, further updates will be shared with residents and stakeholders
