Streets for People

Walking, cycling and electric vehicle plans

As part of our Streets for People strategy we have now agreed plans to make walking, wheeling and cycling quicker, easier and safer for everyone in the borough.

Building on significant work already underway, the Walking Plan prioritises pedestrians. It sets out how we will improve streets and paths for everyone, young and old, including:

• people with mobility issues
• people who use wheelchairs or mobility scooters
• the visually-impaired
• people with children or pushing prams

The Cycling Plan sets out to create a network of safe and accessible streets and routes for all types of cycles, ensuring Southwark is a borough in which everyone who would like to cycle, can.

Increasing walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport are key priorities, but where these are not possible, we want to support residents and businesses to electrify their fleets, as well as our own fleet.

The EV Plan sets out how we will respond to requests from residents and businesses for more EV charge points.
