WALKING
Grand Union Canal Towpath Upgrade
The Grand Union Canal is an increasingly popular route for walkers, cyclists, joggers and anglers. Improvements were made to the towpaths along several sections of the canal in West London. This work supplemented improvements that had already been made to improve the accessibility, safety and attractiveness of the canal towpath.
Northwick Park to Carlyon Road Walking Links
The Borough of Brent had a number of good quality green spaces and streets that could make for good walking routes. The objective of the scheme was to link the green spaces and town centres in Brent, and thereby provide an attractive, functional and accessible walking route.
CYCLING

This scheme applied the principles contained in the British Waterways Towpath Code of Conduct for sections of the Thames Path in Hammersmith & Fulham.

REGENERATION
Wood Lane Regeneration
WestTrans provided funding contribution for the continuation of high quality street improvement works to regenerate Wood Lane between South Africa Road and Du Cane Road.
ENVIRONMENT
Electric Vehicle Charging Points
Research was undertaken to evaluate the feasibility of operating a multi-supplier EVCP system in London. The charging points installed in London were produced by the same company. Following on from this research good practice guidance was developed to provide a step-by-step guide to officers who are considering implementing EVCPs within their local authority, either on-street or off-street in public car parks. Specifically, the guide aims to simplify and make more accessible the process of EVCP provision.
