This is a bleak article. These delivery riders are doing hard, sometimes dangerous work in poor conditions for shitty money.
Rail against the companies that exploit these poor souls, but not the riders themselves.

Life as a food delivery worker: ‘Sometimes men open the door naked’
To earn a living as a delivery rider, some work 10-12 hour days, contending with low pay, exhaustion, accidents, injuries and harassment. Is this a new form of modern slavery?

The Healthy Neighbourhood scheme in Harlesden & Stonebridge is in Phase 2 of a protracted public engagement process.

Our suggestions:
1. Enforce existing modal filters,
2. Reduce through traffic on Nicoll Road
3. Improve the junction of Acton Lane/Mordaunt Road.

🤔 Got a junction in your area you think should be safer for cycling? Maybe you'd like to see an LTN brought in?

This is a beautiful film about cycling in London and how it has changed so much in the past few years. There is a real choice now in many areas. We would love to see more of this in our corner of London.

London’s low-traffic zones ‘cut deaths and injuries by more than a third’

Based on comparisons involving more than a decade of road casualty statistics between 113 LTNs created across London and other roads that did not have them, the report’s authors found that LTNs were associated with a 35% reduction in all injuries, rising to 37% for deaths and serious injuries.
