Outer London Cycling Receives £4Million

The Mayor and Transport for London (TfL) have announced £4m funding for Biking Boroughs to create cycle hubs and cycling communities in Outer London.

The funding will help boroughs engage the local community in cycling, create better cycle infrastructure and parking as well as making cycling safer.

The key themes and areas of development that emerged from the 13 individual Biking Borough strategies were:

• Cycle hubs - Town centre locations with a high density of potential cyclists and trips where boroughs should invest in cycle infrastructure
• Cycling communities - Residential areas of high cycling potential where investment should be focused on breaking down the barriers to cycling
• Promotional activities - Events to raise the profile of cycling across the borough
