Fewer cars leads to ‘healthy streets’

YOUR article on the “London Healthy Streets League” [July 16] identified the London boroughs of Havering, Redbridge, Bexley and Bromley as the worst performers in terms of promoting “healthy streets.”

In both Havering and Bexley, large areas of these boroughs are barely served by public transport; many residents require a car to even access public transport.

Many of us would like to see a sustainable reduction in the number of vehicles on our roads. However, this is not possible for residents without adequate investment (by TfL) in providing a public transport alternative in these areas.
