Haringey has been working in partnership with residents, stakeholders, the Mayor of London, Transport for London (TfL) and the Department for Transport (DfT) on a transport and highways response to the COVID-19 crisis to enable social distancing in our town centres and outside our schools, providing new cycleways and introducing low traffic neighbourhoods. This will help active and safe travel whilst the public transport system cannot operate at full capacity due to social distancing.

The council has been working on proposals to give people safe alternatives to travel around the borough through ‘active travel’ such as walking and cycling. Haringey has submitted 19 bids to TfL to access a share of the £65m London Streetspace Plan fund (external link) available to boroughs in two Tranches of funding The Tranches are explained further down the page. The bids are listed below.

Tranches 1 and 2

TfL and the DfT Emergency Active Travel Funding

TfL released two tranches of funding:

1. £45m for London– June 2020 (decision June 2020)
2. £20m for London– July 2020 (decision December 2020)

The DfT allocated £100,000 per London Borough in June 2020 which funded bid 4.

Bids 1 -18 were submitted in Tranche 1 and the successful bids are identified above. We resubmitted all the unsuccessful Tranche 1 TfL Streetspace bids with the exception of bid 2 - additional pavement widening, bid 17 - removing footway parking and bid 18 - Roundway/Lordship Lane/Downhills Way pedestrian improvement scheme which did not meet the criteria for delivering LTNs, School Streets and Cycleways. We will resubmit these three bids for alternative future funding opportunities.

We submitted a new bid for a Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Bounds Green (Bid 19).

See more details on the Bounds Green Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) bid, including Enfield’s LTN in Bowes Park.

The outcome of Tranche 2 is now known, and the successful bids have been identified above.

Engagement

We launched an interactive Commonplace Map (external link) which allows residents and business owners to identify cycle routes and low traffic neighbourhoods. The consultation opened on 2 June and closes on 26 June 2020.

Thank you to those who have already sent us suggestions for active travel measures. We are very grateful for the detailed and thoughtful suggestions. These have helped inform our approach. We will not be able to deliver everything and what we deliver will be dependent on funding.

Our focus is on the urgent need to help tackle COVID-19 so our priority is temporary measures to support social distancing, but some of the temporary measures could be made permanent. We will also use suggestions put forward here to inform future bids to funding opportunities and our longer-term ambitions in our emerging Walking and Cycling Action Plan which will be fully consulted on later in 2020.

Next Steps

All the above bids have been submitted to TfL and the DfT. We will continue to update this page with the results of the funding bids as appropriate. We will continue to pursue other funding opportunities which may arise.
