• Hi Kate,

    I've got a friend in City Hall who knows who you are from dealings on your video etc. and how dedicated you are. His advice is for the action group to get itself together (i.e. develop its proposals/plans) and then to arrange a meeting with Kulveer Ranger, the Mayor's Transport Advisor, to discuss its ideas for making the roads safer. He thinks he's likely to be receptive (more so than approaching TFL itself) as he is apparently keen to engage with some cycling groups other than just the LCC. So this could be a very timely initiative.

    Hope this helps.

    This does sound like a good idea, not only because it tallies with what I have been thinking!

    IMO what is needed at this point is a champion for this cause in an official capacity, identifying that champion is an important step in deciding the strategy for convincing the champion to take up the cause.

    BJ is the obvious choice for many reasons.

    Having a target gives definition to what is required at this stage.

    We all want to achieve something significant with this, but it is not going to happen in one step.

    To me the first step is to gain support outside of our peer group / special interest group from individuals who can bring pressure on those agencies who can affect change. That means London MPs, the London Mayor and local London politicians.

    Hopefully not coming over too Bikeradar.
