Beckton Walking and Cycling
Newham Council wants to make Beckton a great place for active travel. To make that happen, we are committed to improving local streets to make Active Travel an easy, safe and convenient way to get around.
We would like to hear your feedback on issues and suggestions for improvement schemes that will make Beckton better for walking and cycling.
Results of this survey will be analysed and presented in a workshops in January, where we will seek more detailed comments on specific proposed projects.
We expect construction on projects resulting from this survey and workshops to start in March 2023.
Project area
The bright part of the map below shows the whole project area.
We are particularly interested in making improvements for walking and cycling in the four following focus areas.
Tollgate Road (purple)
Tollgate Road is a key east-west corridor, which runs through the Beckton area and supports access to residential, community, and commercial destinations.
Beckton Corridor (green)
Beckton Corridor is a key pedestrian route, separated from car traffic, connecting Beckton DLR station to residential areas, Beckton Park, and Royal Albert Way (including Royal Albert DLR station).
Woolwich Manor Way (blue)
Woolwich Manor Way is particularly significant because it is the only major north-south connection across the A13 within the project area.
Beckton Town Centre (red)
Beckton Town Centre is a hub of activity including community retail and transport facilities such as Beckton DLR station and Beckton bus station. The scope of potential improvements to walking and cycling includes access to and through the wider ASDA shopping area.
What kinds of changes are we looking to make?
The Beckton Walking and Cycling Project is focused on upgrading the physical infrastructure in order to:
- Make walking and cycling easy, safe and convenient
- Reduce air pollution
- Promote more high street economic activity
Physical infrastructure upgrades could include, for example:
- Cycle tracks and lanes
- Trees and greenery
- Improved lighting and CCTV
- Changes to junctions
- Traffic calming
- Better access for disabled people
- Improved footways
- Pedestrian crossings (including zebra crossings)
- Wayfinding signage
