Local Implementation Plans

These conditions include creating more space on London's road for people to walk and cycle safely.

LIP Funding

LIP funding is the process through which we provide boroughs with financial support. The funding is for schemes to improve their transport networks in a way that is consistent with and supports the Mayor's Transport Strategy.

These schemes are detailed in each borough's LIP. A three-year outline programme is reviewed annually, and a detailed one-year programme is submitted for funding approval for the following financial year.

Older LIP documents are on the LIPs page in Publications & reports.

Third LIPs

Since the 2018 Mayor's Transport Strategy (and associated LIP guidance documents) was published, every borough has produced their third LIP. These were all approved in 2019 by the Deputy Mayor on behalf of the Mayor.

These LIPs include the boroughs' targets for contributing to the Mayor's Transport Strategy Outcomes - we track progress against these every year.

Each borough's current LIP allocation is on their individual page in Your borough.

LIP funding

Funding is intended to be allocated under six main programmes, subject to availability:

  • Corridors, neighbourhoods and supporting measures
  • Liveable Neighbourhoods
  • Cycle Network Development
  • Borough Bus Priority Programme
  • Principal road maintenance
  • Bridge strengthening

Corridors, neighbourhoods and supporting measures funding is allocated using a formula that was agreed with London Councils and the London Technical Advisory Group (LoTAG) in 2010.

Bids for Liveable Neighbourhoods, Cycle Network Development and Bus Priority funding on borough roads are made to TfL.

We assess all proposals in a rigorous manner to ensure schemes will deliver the benefits that are needed to achieve the outcomes of the Mayor's Transport Strategy and support London's recovery, such as more walking, cycling and use of public transport through more reliable journeys.

Funding for principal road maintenance and bridge strengthening is awarded to roads and bridges most in need of repair. Condition surveys are used to establish this need.

See the final LIPS allocations.

LIP spending and delivery plans

In 2021, boroughs are being asked to develop a three-year delivery plan for 2022/23- 2024/25 in two stages, to begin with a 22/23 annual plan for submission in November 2021 and secondly a plan for the remaining years for submission in summer/autumn 2022. In addition, each year, London boroughs must submit a LIP annual spending submission with specific details of individual schemes they want to take forward. At the end of the financial year, each borough must submit a report on how they have delivered a range of priorities such as cycle parking, 20 mph zones and pedestrian crossings.

LIPs guidance

The LIP formula funding allocations for 'Corridors, Neighbourhoods and Supporting Measures' are calculated for each borough.

Boroughs Portal

The Boroughs Portal is a web-based system that we, along with boroughs and partnerships, use to manage LIP and non-LIP funding that we provide.

The Portal is used to manage the allocation of funds, report on scheme progress, and to subsequently claim funds from TfL.
