This is significant news for schemes delivered across London in the last nine years. It means politicians can't simply 'rip out' LTNs and bike lanes they don't like. Some of those running in May's elections are going to have to rethink their pledges

Really disappointing to see this potential backwards step by Newham council. We definitely need @newhamgreens.bsky.social to win some seats at next elections.
Newham council have ‘called in’ the decision made at officer level to make the West Ham traffic filtering scheme permanent. Our friends @newhamcyclists.uk have all the details: newhamcyclists.uk/take-action-...

@citywestminster.bsky.social now recognise that social, as well as traffic safety, needs to be considered for route planning 🙌, so they have proposed these cycleways to give riders safer alternatives to the canal. But first, what is social safety...? 👀🧐

It was great for the Women’s Network to get involved with this & so refreshing for Westminster to be considering social safety in their criteria! More of this please 👏🏻
Regent's canal is a popular🚴♀️route - efficient, vehicle free & scenic. But cycling after dark vs during the day feels a vastly different proposition. How socially safe would you feel here at night? @londoncycling.bsky.social volunteers tested 2 new proposed routes to bypass the canal ⬇️
