Works under way in (gasp!) Tower Hamlets.
The contraflow cycle track has been removed. I think it will get replaced by a two-way cycle track where the previous track was.

Read why local parent Kate would be devastated if Lutfur Rahman spends £2m ripping out our safer streets.
Since the LTNs came in, car collisions near schools in the scheme area have dropped from 3 per year to just 1.
We CAN'T go back to dangerous streets. #SaveOurSaferStreets

[NEW] London lorries safer forever thanks to 10+ years of @London_Cycling campaigning, as our trustee Dr Nedah Darabi explains.
⛔️ But it's not over. We checked every London council lorry contract, and some are incredibly poor.

Sign this petition opposing the removal of the Bethnal Green Low Traffic Neighbourhood.
Consultation after consultation reveals this LTN is popular and people want to keep it.
Despite this the Mayor of Tower Hamlets has vowed to open it back up to motor traffic.
Sign our petition to stop Tower Hamlets removing the LTN in Bethnal Green and making our streets less safe!

Injured cyclist slams council's £19m redesign of Pembury junction
HCC has deep concerns over the sub par redesign of Pembury Circus, which raises serious questions about Hackney Council's commitment to safety and the principles of Vision Zero.

Lutfur Rahman has decided to cut down the trees and tear out the cycle lanes in this photo and replace it with thousands of cars despite repeated objections from residents and stakeholders. Sign our petition to get the Mayor of London to stop this.

🚨 Hackney Council is about to greenlight a dangerous junction redesign at Pembury Circus.
Their plans don't align with their own Vision Zero policy to eliminate traffic deaths. Worse, they KNOW a safer, more efficient design exists, and they're ignoring it.

In 2022, Lutfur Rahman was elected with a promise to remove Tower Hamlets safer streets. 2.5 years later, they are still here. I love Arnold Circus, I doubt anyone would want it back the way it was. A sensible evolution in making London for people rather than polluting vehicles

🚴♀️ 🎒 As schools go back, we've been asking some young people in Wandsworth about cycling to school - what they love about it or what's holding them back.
We're going to share some of the responses, starting with Mya ⤵️

Roads quieter in London this morning? Less traffic, can't put your finger on why.
Well I am happy to help

Saw another near-miss for a cyclist at the Tredegar Rd / Fairfield Rd roundabout on Saturday, so its timely to have this question at Full Council tomorrow. Mayor Lutfur Rahman must now reinstate @TH_Labour's plans to improve the safety of pedestrians + cyclists at this junction

Fatal collision with man in 30s cycling, Cable Street (Cycleway C3) & Cannon Street Road junction, early on 6 July (~0030am). 2 women arrested for 'hit & run' & "suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving" afterwards. As ever, thoughts with family & friends. @THWheelers
A cyclist has died and two women have been arrested after a “hit and run” crash in Cable Street, Shadwell. dlvr.it/T9Dbgp 👇 Full story
