On another note about road safety
At the end of November, Mike Fletcher, a Twickenam Cyclist and
campaigner for improving cycling conditions in London was killed by a
car exiting an industrial estate as he rode down the A4 off road cycle
path by Gillet Corner. This has been quite devastating for TCC and we
are campaigning for significant changes to be made by TFL to the A4
cycling infrastructure.
One of the councillors for Brentford where Mike lived has set up a
petition to get the cycle path improved
The A4 cyclepath, although in Hounslow, is maintained by TFL. This
means that although the council have indicated that they are very
supportive of significant improvements to the cycle path it is TFLs
decision over whether they chose to fund and implement it. TFL are
having conversations with Hounslow Council about the possibility
however we've been told it could require some lobbying and that help
from the cycling community would be grately appreciated
The paper petition has some 500 signitures. I asked Cllr Matt Harmer
if he could set up an online petition as it is easier to circulate:
It would be awesome if people could sign and circulate the petition
