Cycle campaigning

Another great meeting of the London Cycling Campaign last night. Lots of questions about campaigning on road junctions, lorries and the 2014 local elections. The meeting voted to put our support behind this:

Day of Action for Safer Roads at the Elephant & Castle on Friday 16th November (starts at 8am), ending with a vigil organised by RoadPeace for those killed on London's roads. The vigil will begin at 5pm.
The day will be based in the space outside the London College of Communication.
Any support gaining paper signatures during the day would be very welcome.

Online petition is:

If you can encourage more cyclists to come along to support it we would be very grateful.
Thanks Alex
We also had elections for the new members of the LCC board of trustees. The five winners are:
Rachel Aldred
Suzanne Fogg
David Love
Melanie Grech
Claire Wren

Three of the winners had been co-opted members of the board. They had been brought in last year to provide special skills and increase diversity. Now we have a 50-50 gender balance. Forum favourite Oliver Schick just missed out, coming 6th out of 18 candidates. Hopefully he will continue to take and active part in steering LCC policy.
