Thinking about this further, this is my suggestion for what should be included in such as campaign, or letter to Boris and other MPs.
1)A full unbiased and independant K&SI enquiry on reported cycle incidents in London similar to the 2001 Toronto Coroners Enquiry of the same nature to provide a clear and accurate assessment on the causes of accidents, the handling and investigation by police and reccomendations on prevantative measures.
2) A full overhaul of road design policy to clearly and reasonably favour cycling as a mode of transport. This overhaul should include open consultation with cycling communities and be implemented. as mandatory in all London boroughs for all new developments and redevelopments.
3) A programme of subsidised, low cost driver training in cycle awareness for all HGV drivers with an associated incentive.
4) A programme of subsidised, low cost road cycling training for all London residents.
5) A restriction on HGV traffic in London at rush hour times (0700 - 0930 & 1530 - 1900).
6) Immediate implementation of increased safety standard on all HGVs allowed into London.
7) A permanent and updateable memorial to cyclists killed in London traffic regardless of circumstances.
