The Greenway has been closed to people walking and cycling in east London for months, and the diversion is too dangerous. I've written to Thames Water, and everyone with a stake in the Greenway asking for a better diversion, and for better planning in future. (Link to letter in next post).

In #Wandsworth: "As a result of resident feedback, the revised scheme does not include speed humps.... Additionally, only seven parking spaces along the whole of Burntwood Lane will be repurposed for the safety improvements... mini roundabouts at Beechcroft Road and Aboyne Road are being retained."

The data used by Wandsworth does not seem quite right, comparing 2020 to 2023 to claim Hammersmith Bridge’s closure caused more traffic. But the bridge was already closed in 2020! A fair baseline shows motor traffic on Putney Bridge has actually fallen by 12% www.wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-ja...

Great news for Wandsworth residents, especially those living car-free: The council now offers two free bulky waste collections per year per household. Steps like this make car-free living even easier and more practical for more people. www.wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-fe...

Petition to Parliament. It would mean when vulnerable road users, e.g cyclists & pedestrians, claim against a more powerful road user (a driver), the driver would be presumed liable unless they prove otherwise. tinyurl.com/55uht3zj

Women's rights activist Susan B. Anthony realized the importance of the bicycle as an instrument of liberation - one of the invention's most significant legacies. Happy #BicycleBirthday, Susan B. Anthony! Born on this day February 15 (1820-1906)

With ever increasing volumes of traffic and bigger and heavier cars and delivery vehicles this is so important and urgent. It should also be connected to making places nicer to be.

Kingston Council are asking people to answer a questionnaire so that they can better understand what they need to do to make cycling easier. Questions focus quite a lot on cycle training, but isn't it drivers who need training??!! www.kingstonletstalk.co.uk/highways-and...
