Encouraging fewer private vehicles on our roads and a switch to cleaner vehicles.Providing high quality, customer focused services that respond to the needs of our residents, businesses and visitors.

Supporting the creation of sustainable streets for everyone, by re-prioritising more of our kerbside space to support greening in the borough, and sustainable transport.The plan will be built around five key themes: Through this consultation we want to explore these policies with the borough and to hear what residents think about these ideas. Some journeys may always need to take place by car, but by prioritising road users according to need, with Blue Badge holders at the top of that hierarchy, followed by ultra low emission vehicles and car club schemes, will support a shift towards more sustainable forms of transport. Through both controlled parking zones and other policies to manage car use, Hackney can make a contribution to reducing the impact on climate change and improving local air quality. Our intention is for this Parking and Enforcement Plan to help make the goal of cleaner, breathable air achievable. Now we are thinking about the future and the Council is working to support this change by rebuilding a greener Hackney, to avoid a car-led recovery that would impact the lives and health of Hackney people in a negative way. This behavioural change benefitted us all as more people opted for more sustainable modes of transportation or stayed home. As we continue to move through the pandemic, it is important to note that in the beginning of the lockdown there were fewer motor vehicles travelling on our roads polluting the air.
