  • Local Implementation Transport Plan Summary
    London Borough of Merton Draft Third Local Implementation Plan: Transport Plan February 2019 1 Contents Foreword 3 Executive Summary 4 Introduction 6 Borough transport objectives 8 Mayor's Transport Strategy outcomes 22 Mayoral strategies that have informed the LIP 57 The Delivery Plan 61 Borough outcome indicator targets 80 2 Foreword The Mayor for London Sadiq Khan has rightfully placed growth, healthy people and places as the central theme of his adopted Transport Strategy. Merton Council is supportive of the strategy and in particular the adoption of healthy streets indicators when designing public realm improvements to make London’s streets healthier places where people can be encouraged to choose walking and cycling as their choice of travel. To get more people active, reduce air pollution and to promote healthier lifestyles the council intends to prioritise the delivery of improved walking and cycling facilities. We also want to encourage more people to lead healthier lives and to reduce air pollution, particularly in the more congested parts of the borough. Our bold new Air Quality Action Plan 2018 - 2023 includes many actions aimed at road transport and the benefits of reducing vehicle journeys in promoting cleaner travel. As a council we have introduced a diesel levy on parking permits as we recognise that bad air quality has been identified as a leading cause of ill health and premature death and to encourage people to drive the least polluting vehicles as possible. We have already introduced a variety of walking and cycling initiatives, car clubs, electric vehicle changing points and are also taking steps to reduce harmful emissions by discouraging drivers from using their cars in areas which are well served by public transport and improve air quality.
