Encourage people out of their cars in the suburbs
Tackle traffic and air pollution across the whole of London, including the outer boroughs. Living in the outer suburbs (Zone 4) close to the North Circular, traffic congestion is by far the worst blight on quality of life. Yet there are very few traffic management schemes and almost no monitoring of air quality (in Barnet). Please run more buses and bus routes for local journeys (not just into the centre of London) and create 24 hour bus lanes so that those wonderful electric double deckers don’t just sit in stationary traffic. It is also sadly much cheaper for people to drive around in the suburbs than to take public transport. Another potential solution to getting people out of their cars in the suburbs (since the ULEZ will only be extended to the North and South circulars) would be to introduce a charge per mile scheme for private vehicles.

Show full commentRadical solutions are needed to get people out of the cars. N8 is blighted by speeding cars and vans. We need to give priority to pedestrians and cyclists. Improving transport infrastructure is vital to enable a move away from motor vehicles. Give over more on street parking to bike lockers. Introduce LTNs.
