I met with the lambeth designers it is really depressing how anti cycling and pro parking they are… they've been at these plans for 3 years, and have only just acknowledged the local cycling group even exists when they enquired how narrow they could make the road widths to "reduce speeding"

they havent audited who parks there or why, and they're only target is to keep the amount of car parking spaces "neutral" ie no change.

the most sensible way to get two way cycling through old town and the pavement is to remove the yellow line out off hours parking, and increase the hours of the CPZ so night life parking doesn't impact residents negatively, "had they anything considered anything like this" no they answered.
