Rob Edwards is a Lead Sponsor at TfL and in his current role, works with the North London Boroughs on their programme of schemes funded through the LIP funding from TfL.
Rob joined LB Tower Hamlets in 1987 and worked on a range of transport and planning schemes before becoming Islington’s public transport officer in 1995. At Islington he became heavily involved in the London Bus Priority Partnership and delivered an extensive programme of new bus lanes and signal priority schemes. He joined TfL at its inception in 2000. At TfL, Rob has delivered a extensive programme of enhancement schemes on the Mayors Road Network such as the Angel Town Centre scheme, Elephant and Castle Southern roundabout, early phase schemes at Old Street Roundabout and Highbury Corner, Finsbury Park gyratory removal and an extensive package of pedestrian improvements along Edgware Road in Westminster.
He has a transport planning and town planning background and has a keen interest in design and policy areas. This includes a particular interest in Green Infrastructure and Biodiversity.
Away from work Rob spent many years following the mighty Wrexham FC around some dubious non league grounds. However, after three successive promotions he is wallowing in the glory of Championship football.
