We want to make London much more pedestrian-friendly – and our commitment to a pedestrianised Oxford Street is an emblem of our vision. It is our aim in the years to come to develop a pedestrian-friendly area stretching from Oxford Street through Soho, Chinatown and Leicester Square down to Trafalgar Square itself, working in cooperation with Westminster City Council, residents, retailers and the entertainment industry.

We will work with Borough Councils to investigate many more pedestrian precincts and road-scapes where those on foot have priority.

We will introduce better signage which tells those on foot how long a particular journey will take (“10 minutes to Piccadilly”) and promotional advertising highlighting that it is often quicker to walk than to take the Tube or bus for shorter journeys.

Cycling has not been a priority for Transport for London and their Centre for Cycling Excellence is underfunded. Cycling must be made safer and more attractive, with many more cycle lanes protected where possible by high kerbs and with priority at junctions.

Transport for London must provide much more secure parking for bikes – some of this can be incorporated into our SmartHire bike docking stations. In return we would expect responsible cycling on the roads, not on the pavements, and respect for red traffic lights.

Working with the 32 Borough Councils we will work together to provide more secure cycle racks across London.
