Install protected cycle lanes on South Lambeth Road
South Lambeth Road is a residential road with shops and cafes, it is also a motor traffic corridor linking Vauxhall and Stockwell. In order to redress the bias favouring through-traffic, as opposed to local usage by adults and children, we want to see it made attractive to cycle on through the provision of protected cycle lanes.

The Oval Ward is where South West London meets South East London. It includes much of Vauxhall and Kennington and has been of strategic importance to London since Roman times and remains so to this day. The councillors for this area are not only important to those who live there but also the many thousands who work in or pass through this area every day.
