Cyclists in an under protected lane
200,000+ people cycle in the city centre, outnumbering cars 2-to-1 in our post codes. Nearly 2/3 of Westminster households do not own a car. We want less traffic & less pollution for a safer, cleaner borough. Please share with neighbours! And THANK YOU for your support ♥️

A wheelchair cyclist using a protected lane in the borough
Where do you still feel unsafe walking or cycling?
How have safe routes helped you or your family?
Ask directly: ‘Will you commit to expanding protected cycle routes to create a proper network?’
And remember these numbers cannot be ignored...
Here's who to contact:
Adam Hug (Labour) - Westminster Council Leader: leader@westminster.gov.uk
Paul Swaddle (Conservative) - Westminster Council Opposition Leader: pswaddle@westminster.gov.uk
More party info to come in due course but here
are some ideas on what to say ⬇️
Local resident Helen wrote to her local paper in support of the Bayswater Road cycle scheme.
Close up of Helen's letter
TAKE ACTION! Like Westminster resident Helen - she was featured in the paper for supporting local bike schemes. If you live in the borough or know anyone who does, (get them to) write to local leaders NOW, as they finalise their manifesto pledges 📢 ⬇️

Existing cycles routes in Westminster, still falling far short of needs
We still really need safe routes East-West and North-South, particularly with the Oxford Street pedestrianisation plan afoot, which has not yet accounted for alternative cycling routes. Without a joined-up network, the borough will struggle to keep cycle traffic safe. So please…

Side zebras are creating more road safety for pedestrians in the borough
It’s not just cyclists who are reaping the reward; pedestrians are also getting improved crossings and access, enjoying greater safety. Despite this progress, there’s still a LOT more to do to properly link up and extend cycleways in the borough...⬇️

construction on George street for the C43
Works on Stanhope Place
Under construction is:
C43 George Street, featuring the borough's first "stepped tracks" for physical separation & the closure of the Stanhope Pl. “rat run” & improved cycle lane.
C63 Cleveland Street, a vital North-South link between the West End & Pimlico.
And there's more⬇️
contraflow cyclists on Blomfield road
Two way cycling on Delamere Terrace
A cyclist enjoying the tulip wands on Sussex Gardens
We saw Blomfield road & Delamere Terrace get new two-way & contraflow cycling solving the tricky canal-to-Paddington transition. AND we had a world-first trial of colourful 'tulip' wands on Sussex Gardens, improving the approach to Paddington on the C27.
Meanwhile…
contraflow cycling on Foley Street
Contraflow signage on Foley street
The completion of Cycle Permeability schemes with newly permitted two-way cycling on numerous West End streets, including Noel, Foley, Carlisle, Wardour and more. This is opening up fresh, vital corridors of movement throughout the city. And that's not all…

Westminster getting a commendation award from the LCC for the first time in living memory!
Westminster’s cycling reputation is transforming from a ‘black hole’ for safe routes, to becoming a leader in the capital’s active travel efforts (so much so, even our own @londoncycling.bsky.social named them a highly commended borough!). After decades of languishing, now we're seeing…

VOTE FOR WESTMINSTER’S FUTURE! 🗳️✅With local election season about to go into high gear, now is the time for residents to reflect on how we've turned red lights into green ones when it comes to cycling & let council leaders know @citywestminster.bsky.social that you WANT MORE CHANGE! 💪🚴♀️ ⬇️
