if you live, work or study in K&C or ride through K&C it would be good to attend so you can make your views known to people that make the cycling transport decisions.*..

as you were.... (been prompted to start a new thread for this))

The police tend to act on public concerns

we need to make our concerns re cars in asls etc voiced

also that something like 15% of vehicles in London are not legal

these things actually cause much greater risk than cyclist rlj.

As such go to the meeting and express your concerns

I ride through K&C to work..

if they could put a solid cycle lane from sloane square all the way to putney bridge, that would be awesome, also a little one between the lanes outside the fire station. Also exempt us from the red light outside heal's.

work permitting, I will come to this.

'bump.

reasons being:

1) it's this Wednesday
2) there's a bit of an update:

there will be maps there where you can indicate which 1 way streets you would like to turn to 2 way for bikes. It does appear permeability is the name of the game in K&C.

oh, afterwards, we're going to a pub.

'We shall be holding our own meeting directly after the Council Forum, at the Devonshire Arms, 37 Marloes Road, London W8 6LA'.

They do 'pretty good' 'inexpensive (for K&C)' food and proper beer/cider.

bump this

people should come along and make their concerns heard

we cannot have a death a day on the streets of london

This is tonight - have had chats with people on twitter and IMHO because of the LCC + Cycling England presence it really is relevent to the whole of London..

thanks for coming. good numbers indeed.
pub afterwards we got a few more people interested :)

some key points came out of discussions, they'll be mentioned at some point I think :)

important things
-more 2 way for cyclists 1 way streets are coming in K&C as soon as the Department of transport says yes. K&C are ready to go.

• we all need to be better at writing to the various levels of Politicians. this is huge.
  

good job!
