Sustainable Transport
We are working hard to make it easier, safer and more enjoyable for the community to cycle in the borough.
Bike hire and training schemes to get us cycling confidently and safely on the roads are available throughout the borough. Find a scheme that’s right for you and read about Newham’s cycling strategy here: Sustainable travel – Newham Council

Newham is in the top five local authority areas when it comes to the number of public plug-in points for every thousand electric vehicles licensed. For more information on electric vehicle charging points can be found here: Electric vehicle charging points
For schools, we have introduced Healthy School Streets, which are are roads with timed access restrictions for most motor vehicles at school start and finish times. This makes it safer and easier for children and their families to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
