TfL announces £148m for local transport schemes

Transport for London (TfL) will provide councils in the capital with £148m for local transport schemes next year, it was announced today.

The local implementation funding (LIP) is for projects that support London mayor, Boris Johnson’s overarching transport strategy.

Notable schemes completed with last year’s LIP include the reintroduction of two-way traffic on Piccadilly, Pall Mall and St James, the revamp of Mollison Way in Harrow and the Wimbledon town centre project.

This year’s funding will support a range of projects including a traffic management scheme to reduce congestion in Bromley and the redevelopment of Harlesden town centre in Brent.

London's transport commissioner, Peter Hendy, said: 'We are working in partnership with the boroughs to bring real improvements to communities across the city.

'The boroughs will be using this investment to fund hundreds of projects that will benefit all road users, including cyclists and pedestrians.

'Public squares and local shopping areas will be rejuvenated, attracting more people to those area and boosting the local economy.'
