Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane Healthy Neighbourhood

Islington Council and the City of London Corporation are working in partnership on the long-term future of the Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane area.

This healthy neighbourhood plan aims to create pleasant and lively streets where communities can come together to spend time with their neighbours, support local shops, and children can play and travel safely. With more plants and trees, seating for neighbours and reduced traffic, the healthy neighbourhood will transform Bunhill’s streets.

After listening to local people’s feedback, we are prioritising:

  • creating safe streets for children to travel to school and areas for play
  • reducing through-traffic, improving road safety and air quality
  • supporting local businesses to thrive.

The liveable neighbourhood will also work to:

  • create greener and more pleasant streets
  • make it easier and safer to walk and cycle
  • bring the community together.

To review the work that has been undertaken so far, please see the timeline. 

Timeline

We have now completed the first phase of the project, which included listening to people's views and ideas on how we should improve streets and public spaces within the project area.

Since then, we have been working closely with the City of London to develop proposals for a cross-boundary healthy neighbourhood.

Head to the engagement page to find out more information, and to see the initial proposals we are seeking feedback on.
