Priority actions
| Priority actions | Outcomes and actions | Success criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Enable a shift away from dependency on private vehicles while enabling a shift to low and zero emissions vehicles to meet remaining needs. | Rollout of at least 200 EV charge points by 2022. | Borough-wide |
| Lead by example through the council’s own fleet and travel policies. | Review staff car use policy by 2020.Any remaining fleet vehicles to be low-emission, such as electric, by 2022.Significantly increase staff use of cycles, public transport and walking for work journeys, year on year. | Borough-wide |
| We will set differential parking charges to incentivise the uptake of low and zero emissions vehicles. | Publication of kerbside strategy. Implementation of variable parking charges. | Borough-wide |
| We will promote an Ultra Low Emissions Zone covering the whole of Lambeth and London | Implementation of the expanded ULEZ by 2021. Work with GLA/TfL on future coverage. | Borough-wide |
| We will improve air quality and create more attractive places by greening our streets. | Delivery of green infrastructure, such as pocket parks, green screens and 1,000 street trees by 2022. | Borough-wide |
| We will develop and bring forward traffic corridor plans that respond to the need to reduce emissions through the allocation of modal priorities on these routes. | Review of main road corridors based on need to reduce CO2 emissions. Focus on A23 corridor to trial this approach as part of Streatham to Oval Cycleway. | Borough-wide |
| We will work with TfL and neighbouring boroughs to develop traffic demand management strategies to reduce through motor traffic. | We will assess the potential for a Workplace Parking Levy and work with neighbouring boroughs to promote freight and construction consolidation across the sub region. | Borough-wide |
