The draft plan, released by Mayor Sadiq Khan in late 2017, sets out an integrated framework to shape the development of London to 2041 and deliver the Mayor’s vision for good growth.

The collaborative response, signed by CRP, ATCM and 16 partners, follows a consultation event, hosted by Team London Bridge, in late January. Speakers at the event included (from left): Ojay MacDonald from the ATCM; CRP Co-Chair Simon Pitkeathley from Camden Town Unlimited and Euston Town; Deputy Mayor Jules Pipe; and CRP Co-Chair Councillor Wendy Hyde from the City of London Corporation.

The response, alongside all other feedback received by the Mayor will now be reviewed by an independent Planning Inspector in advance of an Examination in Public due to take place later this year. The final London Plan is expected to be adopted in Autumn 2019.

The High Court has ruled that the government’s air quality plan is “unlawful”.

Following the ruling last week, a supplementary plan forcing an additional 33 local authorities to address air pollution will need to be published.

The existing plan, adopted in 2017, remains in force while the supplement is produced to avoid any delay in its implementation.

The ruling follows a claim by environmental campaigners ClientEarth, that the government’s proposals to tackle roadside nitrogen dioxide emissions “fell far short of what is needed”.

The CRP-managed Central London Sub Regional Transport Partnership (CLSRTP) is working with London Borough of Wandsworth to deliver a Healthy Streets project on Ravenet Street. This was recently publicised by our project partners online on the Council’s website and on twitter.

By using the healthy streets check we will measure the impact of interventions to improve the walking and cycling experience. In addition to the physical changes, we have commissioned some local public art to add to the ‘things to see and do’ while using this route.

This is a great example of partnership working as the project has received support from the local Councillor. The Council’s transport and environment spokesman Councillor Jonathan Cook said: “This is an important local short cut for many people and these improvements will make it a lot more welcoming and a lot safer.”
