Ealing approves ambitious 10-year cycle network plan

Ealing Council has unveiled an ambitious plan to establish a comprehensive network of cycle routes over the next decade, aiming to make cycling safer, more accessible, and a preferred mode of transport for residents of all abilities.

The plan, approved at a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, 22 January, prioritises the improvement and protection of cycling infrastructure across the borough, ensuring it is integrated into future development projects. It will introduce new cycle lanes, segregated routes on main roads, clearer signage, and safer pathways through neighbourhoods and green spaces.

“Safer, better-connected cycle routes will encourage more people to choose cycling, reducing congestion and pollution in our neighbourhoods.”
Councillor Paul Driscoll

The Cycle Network Plan was shaped by input from more than 1,000 residents, cycling groups, and neighbouring boroughs during a public engagement survey last year. This feedback has helped the Council identify priority routes for improvement, forming a key part of Ealing’s forthcoming transport strategy, set for release this summer.

Work on major roads such as Park Royal Road in Acton and Boston Manor Road in Hanwell is set to begin by April, with detailed designs already in progress. Additionally, the Council will expand its bike hangar programme to 125 locations by February, ensuring secure storage for cyclists. Ongoing initiatives, including cycle training for school children and adults and opportunities to rent cargo bikes, will complement the infrastructure improvements.

“This plan is a vital step towards tackling congestion and pollution in our borough,” said Councillor Paul Driscoll, cabinet member for climate action. “By creating better-connected and safer cycle routes, we can encourage more people to embrace cycling, reducing congestion and improving air quality.”

The Ealing Cycle Network forms part of the Council’s broader efforts to create a healthier, greener, and more sustainable borough by promoting active travel and reducing reliance on cars.
