Garratt Lane Environmental Improvements

Councillors have given their backing to a proposal reduce vehicle speeds, encourage cycling and improve conditions for pedestrians in Earlsfield.

The proposals, which will now be the subject of further detailed investigation, could lead to an investment of up to £5m in local transport infrastructure.

As well as new cycle lanes, more trees and the introduction of ‘parklets’ and other small green parcels at various locations, the blueprint calls for a 20mph zone along the whole length of Garratt Lane, plus the creation of four Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.
