Council response
Thank you for your Petition raised for Council on 15th January 2020.
The Mayor and Lead Members have meet with Ward Councillors on this matter and also arranged a meeting for them with Transport for London to seek to resolve concerns about impacts on local access and increased journey times for residents.
Whilst the Council is committed to increasing walking and cycling within the Borough, it is acknowledged that excessive restrictions on local movements could undermine our objectives of reducing car mileage and improving air quality. A balance has to be achieved between improving cycle safety and maintaining safe local access.
TfL has agreed to delay the start of construction work in order that local concerns can be thoroughly considered.
