Haringey’s Draft Walking and Cycling Action Plan

Introduction 

On 9 February 2021 Haringey Council approved the draft Walking and Cycling Action Plan (WCAP) for public consultation. The public consultation on the WCAP will commence in summer 2021.

Background  

Transport is central to the success and prosperity of our residents and local businesses. Everyone whether a bus passenger or a pedestrian, cyclist, motorist or rail user engages with Haringey’s transport infrastructure every day.

Making the best use of our existing assets and spending money wisely to improve sustainability, social justice, safety, ease of movement and usage is one of the important roles for the council. Investment in transport programmes and infrastructure has a key part to play in supporting delivery of all our aspirations in the Borough Plan and in the Haringey Transport Strategy. 

A key commitment of the 2018 Transport Strategy was the development of this WCAP. 

The WCAP enables more walking and cycling in the borough and fulfils our ambitions to have a reputation for being a walking and cycling borough both regionally and nationally. It helps drive the active travel agenda, improve the health and well-being of residents, improve the environment and will better enable the Council to bid for, and prioritise, funding to help deliver our priorities.
