Transport for London (TfL) has announced up to £80.4m for boroughs to improve public transport, make walking and cycling safer and create new school streets.

The transport authority described this as an increase of 16% from 2023/24, when boroughs were allocated £69m; however, it will initially allocate just £66m, with £41m going to outer London boroughs and £25m to inner London boroughs.

The Local Implementation Plan (LIP) funding recognises that London boroughs play a key role in schemes that meet the aims of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy and will help to deliver a number of new schemes on the capital's roads, including:

  • proposals for more than 150 new and upgraded pedestrian crossings including dedicated pedestrian signals at busy junctions in Barnet, Kensington and Chelsea, and Enfield
  • the introduction of 20mph speed limits on roads in Barnet, Brent, Harrow, Redbridge, Waltham Forest Enfield and Richmond
  • junction and corridor improvement schemes that TfL said will make London's streets safer, better for active travel and more reliable for buses

Bus priority schemes will also be funded, including the delivery of new bus lanes across London, although TfL said that of 125 schemes funded, 89 are planned in outer London boroughs.
