Published in January 2023, our ground-breaking new Kerbside Strategy is one of the first of its kind in the UK. The strategy sets out our ambitious plans to transform 25% of our kerbside space into places for people, and not just cars.
Our kerbside space would stretch from London to Edinburgh if you lined it up, and almost 94% of that space is currently used to provide and manage car parking. That’s not fair or sustainable, especially when 3 out 5 households don’t even own a car.

Kerbside Strategy delivery progress
We’ve now published our first Kerbside Progress Report, detailing what we’ve delivered since adopting the strategy in 2023.
The report shows how we’ve allocated over 64km of kerbside space for sustainable uses, supporting active travel, cleaner air, and more inclusive streets. From new cycle hangars and EV charge points to community parklets and street trees, the report showcases how we’re transforming Lambeth’s streets to make our neighbourhoods fit for the future.
