Local Implementation Plan 2006-2016

Hounslow has produced a five-year transport plan that provides policies and proposals for the borough for the implementation of the Mayor’s Transport Strategy in its area.

Each London borough under the Greater London Authority Act (1999) requires a Local Implementation Plan (LIP).

Hounslow has established five transport objectives to link to the council’s executive priorities. These are:

1. Safe – Making the transport environment in Hounslow safer and helping people feel more secure within the public realm.

2. Accessible – Making Hounslow more accessible for everyone

3. Green – Encouraging change towards sustainable forms of travel and the promotion of healthy lifestyles

4. Efficient – Making the transport network more integrated and efficient

5. Attractive – Enhancing the public realm

In developing the LIP, we have established 31 policies to support these objectives. There are 44 specific proposals covering a wide range of programmes to allow us to meet our objectives, subject to funding, over a ten year period.

The LIP will enable us to bid annually for funds from Transport for London (TfL) to improve our streets, town centres and transport interchanges and continue to undertake TfL-funded road safety, highways improvements and sustainable travel programmes.

The Mayor of London approved the London Borough of Hounslow's LIP on 10 July 2007.
