Travel
Most of us travel regularly to school, work, the shops, or to see family and friends.
Walking, cycling, or using buses and trains is good for our health. Cars that run on petrol or diesel cause pollution which can harm our lungs and is linked to asthma, dementia, and other health problems.
Switching to using electric cars and other ways of travelling or other cleaner ways to travel helps us to become more carbon neutral.
If your trip is short (less than 2km), walking or cycling is better for your body and your mind.
Our Cycle Network Plan will help create safe routes to encourage people to cycle. We have added over 100 places to park e-bikes and e-scooters across the borough, making it easier than ever to use Lime or Voi services to get around.
We are also making school journeys safer and more fun. Over 41 schools now have School Streets that are calm and safe places during drop-off and pick-up times.
To help people switch to electric cars, we have put in over 1,000 places to charge them on the street.
We are working hard to make sure charging is easy and does not stop anyone from making the change from petrol or diesel to electric.
