£11.6 million neighbourhood fund for London boroughs
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has announced that an additional £11.6 million will be made available to give London councils the funds to improve their streets and local neighbourhoods.
Allocated between the 33 boroughs using a fair funding formula, the Healthy Streets investment will be spent on reducing road danger, transforming local environments, encouraging cycling and walking, accessibility and improving air quality.
Khan, said: “Over the course of the next five years, we’ve committed an unprecedented £1 billion for boroughs to improve local neighbourhoods across London - with a focus on schemes that encourage walking and cycling, making our high streets cleaner and more enjoyable places to spend time.
“The extra £11.6 million funding I’m announcing in this year’s budget means more funding to get projects off the ground this year, with boroughs having more money available to them than any year under the previous Mayor. We will continue to work closely with boroughs to ensure these schemes are the very best they can be, and truly transform quality of life for Londoners right across the city.”
