Beckton Walking and Cycling

Beckton Corridor

We are proposing two potential options to improve Beckton Corridor from Woolwich Manor Way / Beckton Station to the Ponds / Beckton Park.

We welcome your comments on the proposed design. Please provide any comments by e-mail by Sunday 7 April 2024.

Scheme area

Proposals
The proposed changes include the following elements:
•    Resurfacing the path
•    Improved lighting and new CCTV for personal safety
•    Outdoor gym equipment along the corridor

Path options

There are two proposals for the width of the path and how the path is used. Visualisations of these options are below.

Option A – shared use
a slight widening of the path and keeping the path as shared use for cyclists and pedestrians

Option B – separated use
widening the path further and installing a separate cycle track

Option B - Separated use 

Hallywell Crescent – proposed footpath 

We are proposing new pedestrian and cycle paths that connect Tollgate Road, Woolwich Manor Way and Hallywell Crescent. The proposals will include:

•    Widening the existing path from Tollage Road to provide a separate cycle track
•    A new shared cycle/pedestrian path along the existing grass verge on Hallywell Crescent
•    A new connection to Woolwich Manor Way to enable access without having to descend towards the subway
•    Improved lighting and site lines for personal safety

We welcome your comments on the proposed design. Please provide any comments by e-mail by Sunday 31 March 2024.
