Pre-lockdown cycling in London. Picture: TfL - Credit: Martin Breschinski Residents told us they want Hampstead safe and walkable, so alternatives to cars became one of the main aims of the Neighbourhood Plan. The plan has measures to make cycling accessible to more people, and calls on Camden and TfL to discourage through traffic. We imagine Hampstead village and South End Green one day as low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs), no longer dominated by cars. This fits both Camden and TfL’s transport strategies. Before the pandemic the city’s roads and railways were loaded. Only active travel – walking and cycling – can keep the growing city mobile.
