STATION ACCESS

  • Completion of designs for Northwick Park, Rayners Lane, Ravenscourt Park and Eastcote Stations (implementation for Eastcote due to start this financial year)
  • Funding for West London Station Access Coordinator
  • Development for Step 1 and Step 2 schemes for several stations in West London

WALKING

  • Grand Union Canal Towpath Upgrade

The Grand Union Canal is becoming an increasingly popular route for walkers, cyclists, joggers and anglers. Improvements have recently been made to the towpaths along several sections of the canal in West London. This work will supplement improvements that have already been made to improve the accessibility, safety and attractiveness of the canal towpath.

  • Northwick Park to Carlyon Road Walking Links

The Borough of Brent has a number of good quality green spaces and streets that could make for good walking routes. The objective of the scheme is to link the green spaces and town centres in Brent, and thereby provide an attractive, functional and accessible walking route.

CYCLING

  • Thames Path - Cycling Code of Conduct

This scheme will apply the principles contained in the British Waterways Towpath Code of Conduct for sections of the Thames Path in Hammersmith & Fulham.

ENVIRONMENT

  • Electric Vehicle Charging Points

Research is being undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of operating a multi-supplier EVCP system in London. The charging points currently installed in London have been produced by the same company. Following on from this research good practice guidance is being developed to provide a step-by-step guide to officers who are considering implementing EVCPs within their local authority, either on-street or off-street in public car parks. Specifically, the guide aims to simplify and make more accessible the process of EVCP provision.
