Sustainable Transport Strategy

Final Sustainable Transport Strategy 2006-2016

The Sustainable Transport Strategy for Islington sets out the council's policies, proposals and programmes to improve Islington's transport environment over the ten year period from 2006 to 2016. The strategy was approved by the Mayor of London in October 2006 and adopted by the council's Executive in December 2006, and fulfils Islington's requirement to develop and adopt a Local Implementation Plan (LIP).

The strategy can be downloaded , chapter-by-chapter, from the links below. You can also view a summary of the Sustainable Transport Strategy.
