Liveable Neighbourhoods

Our Liveable Neighbourhoods programme gives boroughs the opportunity to bid for funding for long-term schemes that encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport.

The programme supports the aims of the Mayor's Transport Strategy by funding local schemes to reduce car trips and improve neighbourhoods for walking, cycling and public transport.

Following changes in TfL's funding arrangements, the decision was taken to progress a limited selection of in-flight schemes which had shown significant progress. These schemes are listed below. The remainder of the programme was either completed during the pandemic as part of TfL's rapid delivery London Streetspace Programme or remains unfunded. We are working with the affected boroughs to explore alternative funding sources for their programmes. There are no plans to invite further bids for Liveable Neighbourhoods funding at this time

To improve road safety on the borough roads and deliver bus journey time improvements TfL have made £80m of funding available to the boroughs. Boroughs can apply for scheme funding through the Borough Safer Streets and the Better Bus Partnership programmes.'
