AREAS OF DEVELOPMENT

The Mini Holland Programme will improve our cycling infrastructure to increase the number of local people choosing to travel by bike and on foot.

The programme will make improvements to the borough through the following schemes:

1. Walthamstow town centre and villages
   The main town centre will consist of a joined up network of cycle and pedestrian friendly zones with greener streets and new public spaces.
2. Lea Bridge Road superhighway
   The road will have segregated cycle tracks, with improved pedestrian crossing facilities and high quality street improvements with a new cycle friendly junction at Whipps Cross.
3. Other town centres and network of cycle routes
   Schemes will be implemented in the town centres of Leyton, Leytonstone, Highams Park and Chingford, with each of these connected to the main Walthamstow scheme by two spine cycle routes: Chingford to Leyton and Blackhorse Road to Leyton.
4. Complementary initiatives
   There will be more cycle parking in residential areas, stations and shopping areas. Residents will be encouraged to try cycling and take part in activities to increase their confidence when cycling.

Before any work begins the Council will engage with residents and businesses in the scheme areas to gather thoughts on the proposed improvements.

We are engaging with residents around plans and designs for these schemes and more information on each scheme will be released over the coming months.
