🚲 What do the 2026 local election results mean for cycling in London?

I think this is a pretty decent analysis of the probably changes or lack there of to cycle infra.

Westminster is going to be the worst for obvs reasons. I even found Hamilton terrace residents anti cycle site here. Combined they probably have more money than the council so were always going to do this but the tories are definitely going to axe that route which I take at least daily.

Edit/ Update. Summarised from the transcript

  • The 2026 London elections create a mixed outlook for cycling, with some boroughs accelerating plans and others stalling.
  • Westminster turning Conservative is the biggest setback, likely cancelling major schemes like Bayswater Road.
  • Greens made major gains (Waltham Forest, Hackney, Haringey, Lewisham), often improving prospects for cycle lanes and LTNs.
  • Several boroughs remain stable and pro‑cycling (Camden, Islington, Greenwich, Hounslow), keeping strong pipelines moving.
  • Hung councils (Southwark, Brent, Barnet, Enfield) introduce uncertainty, where coalition politics may slow or block delivery.

Does anyone here know whether Balcony solar can be MCS certified? (Directly cabled to the fuse box

hi all,

Per the title. Does anyone know whether balcony solar can be MCS certified? Specifically if 2-4 panels are wired directly to the fuse box/ consumer unit.

Context:
While I do have a balcony, I will not be hanging panels off it. Instead I have a partition wall between my balcony and the one next to mine, I will install a panel there and a couple on my own external flat walls because both are in the sun all day.
