Tollgate Road to Woolwich Manor Way proposed footway and cycle path

In 2024 we consulted on proposals for a new cycle/pedestrian path running along the embankment on Hallywell Crescent. The proposal forms part of Cycle Future Route 9 which aims to link Beckton with the north of Newham, the A13 and the Greenway.

Following feedback from residents, we have now revised the proposal. It is now proposed to run the path alongside Woolwich Manor Way, rather than Hallywell Crescent. This will be achieved by routing the path through an existing desire line and widening the footway on Woolwich Manor Way, as shown on the image and drawing overleaf. The number of lanes of general traffic on Woolwich Manor Way will remain the same.

The proposals include:

  • Widening the existing path connecting Tollgate Road with Hallywell Crescent to provide a separate cycle track
  • A new segregated footway / cycle path linking the existing path to Woolwich Manor Way
  • A new segregated cycle path on Woolwich Manor Way running at the back of the footway
  • Improved lighting and visibility for personal safety
