Healthy Streets and Places

As well as moving people and goods, transport improvements are an important part of creating more liveable places and improving prosperity, health, and wellbeing. Better transport, access and quality of place are all critical to achieving our ambition of Croydon being the place where:

• people choose to live
• companies and entrepreneurs choose to invest
• the metropolitan centre is a vibrant mixed-use district with increasing numbers of residents

Our Healthy Streets and Places projects provide transport infrastructure to support the growth of the borough, making Croydon a borough where sustainable and reliable travel, safer streets and healthier lifestyles are the norm, reducing carbon emissions, and improving transport options for residents.

The programme is aligned with the Mayor of London’s Transport Strategy and the Council’s wider priorities. These priorities include the Mayor of Croydon’s Business Plan, the Town Centre Vision and Growth Plan, the Air Quality Action Plan and the Carbon Neutral Action Plan.
