Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) Lambeth Council's kerbside strategy and (2) the merits of supporting other local authorities to produce kerbside strategies.

The Government has made no such assessment. The Department’s street design guidance Manual for Streets includes a hierarchy that puts consideration of the needs of people walking and cycling first. Kerbside strategies are one tool available to local authorities to help manage their roads in line with this hierarchy and with the wider principles of the Manual, to achieve their local objectives. Local authorities are encouraged to share good practice with each other.
