The borough is currently consulting on ambitious low-traffic neighbourhood proposals for Bow. It's really heartening to see such good plans being put forward, which prioritise walking, cycling, public transport and community above private car use. However there has already been some vocal opposition to the scheme, and it won’t go ahead unless supporters also make their voices clearly heard.

Tower Hamlets council is starting to roll out on-street bike hangars across the Borough. The hangars cater for residents in side streets and provide 6 cycle parking spaces.

Hangars have already been installed at Canrobert Street and Vyner Street, with further bike hangars coming shortly to Chisenhale Road and Driffield Road.
