Barking, Havering & Redbridge Hospitals ask local authorities for StreetSpace

Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals have appealed to the London Boroughs of  Redbridge, Havering and Barking and Dagenham to act quickly on creating space for active travel.

In a letter signed by the the Chair, Chief Executive, the Chief Nurse and the Medial Director, the Trust cited the need for staff to get into the hospital and the long term impact of travel on health.   The trust called for local councils to consider emergency bike lanes, widening pavements and the closing of residential streets to through traffic.
