Lewisham Cyclists continue to lobby Lewisham Council to ensure cycling is a significant element of their transport policy. This includes campaigns aimed at improving particular road layouts, education, cycle training, cycle parking and promoting cycling as part of their public health policy.
We had a major success in 2017 when after lobbying by Lewisham Cyclists and extensive discussions, Lewisham Council adopted a formal Cycle Strategy on 6th December 2017. The final Strategy document can be found here: Lewisham Cycle Strategy.
A new Active Travel Strategy was developed during 2025 in consultation with Lewisham Cyclists and other Community Groups. This was formally adopted by the Council in October 2025 and supersedes the Cycle Strategy. You can find the full strategy document here
