Transport

Hackney becomes a borough which is well connected by public transport, where cycling and walking are used for an increasing number of journeys and become part of people’s lifestyle.  

Hackney continues to be at the forefront of the cycling revolution.

Greenprint for Hackney

  • A tube line for Hackney? - The options for Crossrail 2 are properly looked at for their impact on Hackney, and not just on central tube congestion.  The option of a station at Homerton, as well as Dalston and Hackney Central, should not be ruled out without proper consideration.  The transport case for Crossrail 2 should be considered in the context of other transport improvements for Hackney, such as the addition of the West Anglia lines to the Overground network.

  • A frequent Overground service to seven new stations - The new Overground lines should have more frequent services as well as new trains and upgraded stations.

  • Scrap the Stoke Newington Gyratory and return it to two-way operation.

  • World-class cycling borough - Support the development of cycle facilities in conjunction with Hackney Cyclists.  Hackney gets its share of cycling funding.

  • 20 is plenty - Hackney has a universal 20mph speed limit.

  • Bring back car-free day - Car-free day becomes an annual event.

  • Pedestrian-friendly - More streets in our town centres are pedestrianised and other parts of Hackney are made more pedestrian-friendly.
