Send a VERY short email to tony.halmos@cityoflondon.gov.uk
Tony Halmos is the Corporation's Director of Communications.... and a senior member of the CIPR profession in the UK, so he should take the importance of these things extra seriously.....
Say...
you're very disappointed at the approach taken by the Corporation when it is trying to be so cycle friendly
in the first instance could he look into this....
draw his attention via a link to this thread, and the increasing influence LFGSS is having in London as he'll find surfing the site....
and then could he suggest how this could be 'resolved'.... perhaps a meeting between leading-hipster-lights, and someone from the Planning or Policy unit.
He should also be able to tell you who the local 'Alderman' is for that site, and their email addresses (if you can't find it from the CoL web site)
Then email the local 'Alderman' - send him a copy of your correspondence with Tony Halmos.
Alderman are the most senior the local community officials. From these across the City comes the Lord Mayor of the City of London.
The CoL is a local authority, but it is a bit special. As citizens you/we have every right to engage with those who are elected in the area to serve not just those who live their, but also those that pass through.
Good luck, and of course, post their replies on here.
If you don't get a reply from Mr Halmos with 48 hours, then post that here too....
