Get h&f moving

Hammersmith & Fulham Council wants to improve the borough’s transport network and has launched a campaign called Get H&F Moving.

H&F officially has the most congested roads in London and we think that residents and commuters deserve better transport. We want to make it easier for residents and commuters to get around - whether that is by tube, bus, bike, motorbike, car or on foot.

The council has drawn up a ten point plan, called the Driver’s Charter (pdf 2.5MB), to help get the borough moving. Our branded taxi cab will also be touring the borough over the coming months, getting residents to share their transport troubles and ideas for improvements.

Council agrees to bring Boris bikes west

Boris bikes could become a common sight in west London, after Hammersmith & Fulham Council agreed it would help bring them to the borough.

The council decided (Monday, September 3) that a £2 million contribution towards the popular Barclays Hire Scheme will be paid but that developers will foot the bill – not the council taxpayer.

Also, the first potential docking station sites have been announced, with the council and Transport for London (TfL) currently narrowing down an original list of 200 potential spots across the borough to around 70.

Consultation days will be held on:

Thursday 4 October, 12pm-2pm: Hammersmith Lyric Theatre, King Street, W6 0QL
Thursday 4 October, 5.30pm-7.30pm: Fulham Library, 598 Fulham Road, SW6 5NX
Saturday 6 October, 10am-2pm: Bush Theatre, 7 Uxbridge Road, Shepherd’s Bush, W12 8LJ
