Should be a non-starter from an accessibility point of view. In 2023 the then Labour candidate for Mayor signed up to our ask to make Hackney's housing estates more accessible for wheeling. This would be a backwards step.

A child was hit and injured here a few years ago. While we understand the desire to improve safety, this will in effect bar users of adapted cycles / mobility scooters / cargo bikes.
With thanks to all who discussed the dismal lack of progress on C50 @haringeycyclists.bsky.social

Calling @willnorman.co.uk @london.gov.uk - this was announced in 2018, would be super to complete by 2028 ?

We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too.
Here’s how main roads should be changed in Hackney:

We'll hold our regularly monthly meeting this Wednesday evening. Likely to include:
- Updates on upcoming LTNs
- A Burns Night debrief
- Upcoming election, what should be our asks for candidates, husting arrangements
- Upcoming rides planning
Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
If you live in the Well Street area, or regularly travel through there, this is a good opportunity to give input into upcoming changes.
Certainly there are opportunities availble to make certain streets much more pleasant and people-focused, and to join up existing cycle routes better.

Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL.
Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval.
This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated.

The situation on cycleway 1 at Whitmore Road is just completely unworkable and it is a travesty the Hoxton LTN hasn’t been designed to fix this. There is *far* too much motor traffic for these cycle flows. Someone is going to get hurt. @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social @hackneylcc.bsky.social
This ride will be fun for all families who like

The very stretch of road @carolinerussell.bsky.social talked about - 1 woman dead, 3 loosing limbs, all just wanting to get about by bike - has been top of our campaigns for YEARS.
Nothing being done.

How about it ?

More cyclists, even wobbly ones, a good thing!
A surge in 'strikelists' on the commute this week means some folk will continue cycling when strike is over - but "exposes the lack of capacity for cycling in London" says our Head of Campaigns @psimonk.bsky.social
