Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane Healthy Neighbourhood
The Healthy Neighbourhood consultation is now live and open for feedback until 20 December 2024.
Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane healthy neighbourhood
The Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane healthy neighbourhood scheme is a joint project between the City of London Corporation and Islington Council. It will prioritise street spaces for people walking cycling and using public transport, and will make these unique neighbourhoods more vibrant and successful places where people can lead active and healthy lives.
In 2023 the project team asked the public for feedback on the streets in the Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane area. The feedback we received has helped us come up with ideas for improving the streets and to make these neighbourhoods better places to live, work and visit. To view the proposals, please see the Bunhill, Barbican and Golden Lane Healthy Neighbourhood Plan as an attachment at the bottom of this webpage.
We now want to understand your level of support for these ideas. To learn more about the proposals and to take part in a survey, please visit the Commonplace Healthy Streets website. The consultation closes on 20 December 2024.
If you wish to discuss your ideas with the project team, we invite you to attend an in-person or online drop-in event:

What is a healthy streets approach?
A healthy streets approach is a system of policies and strategies to help create a vibrant, successful city where people can live active, healthy lives by helping Londoners use cars less and walk, cycle and use public transport more. It aims to create streets that feel pleasant, safe, and attractive and identify the barriers to movement that restrict the community, particularly the most vulnerable.
