The community electric cargo bike share scheme enables residents and businesses to hire an electric cargo bike by the hour. The bikes are hosted by local businesses, who ensure that the battery remains charged and keep an eye on the bikes which are locked up outside of their premises. They can be used by residents to go shopping, take their kids to the park, or by local businesses who want an easy and sustainable way to make deliveries to nearby customers.
Lambeth Council has a day workshop coming up to teach young people how to fix their bikes. This FREE basic bike maintenance course is aimed at 13- to 18-year-olds and will take place during the Easter break.
Transport for London (TfL) has launched a consultation on plans to introduce 65km of new 20mph speed limits within Lambeth and various other boroughs. Lowering speeds is a key part of the Mayor's Vision Zero goal to eliminate death and serious injury from London's transport network and enable more walking and cycling in the capital.
StreetWorks was a unique community-led project to improve the streetscape in West Norwood and Tulse Hill. The project was funded by Transport for London and supported by officers at Lambeth Council. Norwood Forum, Tulse Hill Forum, local councillors and community groups worked together in collaboration with residents, businesses, schools and road users to design a better public spaces. What the project never managed to achieve was the removal of the Tulse Hill Gyratory - the flagship project in this scheme - due to the financial situation changing drastically for TfL in 2019.
