Councillor Southwood stated that it would also promote active travel and could be instrumental in promoting a mode shift away from the car, improving residents’ health, and the Borough’s air quality/public realm environment. It would also help towards meeting the objective of the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy of 80% of journeys by 2041 being made on foot, by bike or using public transport.
