New Cycling Infrastructure Plans Across London

Various local councils across the UK are advancing plans to enhance cycling infrastructure in their regions. Somerset Council is collaborating with housing developers to improve walking and cycling links to a new housing development in Taunton, aiming to connect it to the existing cycle network. In London, the City of London Corporation has proposed a £4.5 million cycleway linking Aldgate and Blackfriars, which is expected to start construction in 2026 and open by 2028, although it may face mixed public support due to significant road changes. Ealing Council is also working on a Cycle Network Plan to create safer cycling lanes following resident feedback indicating a need for improved safety measures. Meanwhile, Norfolk County Council seeks public input on proposals to enhance cycling access in the Mile Cross area of Norwich, focusing on safer routes for pedestrians and cyclists. These initiatives collectively aim to foster a greener and more active travel culture across urban areas.
