Lambeth Car Free Day, SE1

Celebrating the better use of public space than merely for cars, the council will be filling Cornwall Road with “fun and music”.

Cornwall Road will be closed to cars for the day on Saturday 24 September and returned it to the people. The council said “Encouraging cycling and walking over sedentary travel is particularly important at the moment with startling number of obese children and the shocking levels of air pollution. Adding a bit of active travel into your day will improve health, decrease carbon emissions and in many cases save time and money.”

Lambeth Sustainable Travel stall will be there with staff to discuss schemes such as ‘try before you bike’ and cycle training. If you have a bike to sell you can bring it on the day and also buy a quality second hand one for you or your child at the fabulous Lambeth Bike Market which tours schools and is being showcased this year at Car Free Day.

Cornwall Road runs between Upper Ground and The Cut. Take no notice of the Google Map. it’s wrong.
