Greenway: Flushed Away! – Newham Cyclists
newhamcyclists.uk
Today we're launching our #GreenwayFlushedAway campaign.
🚽😱 384 days since Thames Water shut Newham's ONLY safe north/south cycleway
❌🤕 4 years of danger, at least 4 injuries—and it'll get worse
🪧💩 Tell Thames: no more closures until they pay for a safe diversion!

🎄 🎁 We kick off Christmas week with even MORE new cycling infrastructure to celebrate in Newham: the next chunk of Westfield Avenue is surfaced, lined, and opened! And the protected connections to International Way and Olympic Park Ave do not look far behind. Great work @newhamcouncil.bsky.social!

Our estimates off DfT data is London's 1.5 million cycled journeys daily now accounts for well over half of all cycle journeys made in England. That's an amazing end-of-year reflection alongside this ace @peterwalker99.bsky.social piece about what London & LCC included is getting so right...
Cycling in booming in London but fairly stagnant UK-wide. What’s going on? I spoke to some people who know about these sorts of things.

Cycling is changing at speed – but is Britain keeping pace?
Emulating the bike-friendly highways enjoyed by our continental neighbours will take a lot more money and political will

Enjoy 82 seconds of freshly-opened Romford Road cycleway - now open in both directions outside the Atherton Leisure Centre! And there's even more to come. Congratulations @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social @plaistovian.bsky.social - one of the most dangerous roads in our borough is finally being made safe ❤️

Taking a while, but the new Leyton Road/Angel Lane cycleway will fix the awful pavement cycle-lane dance part of C16 with a new protected track, and form part of an important north-south cycle route in our borough.
Current status with the C16 realignment at Leyton Rd.
The SE corner of the junction is the area currently under active construction.

Great to see the new Rotherhithe foot/cycle ferry finally in action, but the fare is obscene: £4.10! Plus:
🚫 no concessions/discounts
😱 Works out at TWENTY FIVE POUNDS per mile
💸 Still more expensive than even the peak time #SilvertownTunnel or #BlackwallTunnel toll
This is unacceptably expensive.

⛴️ Orbit Clipper is here: a fully-electric, zero-emissions ferry across the Thames.
Journeys are every 10 minutes from each side on weekdays, and every 15 minutes on weekends.
Getting around South East London just got easier.

Exciting news from #RomfordRoad, where large amounts of cycle track have now been surfaced. We understand they should open in the coming weeks (still to be decided if it needs to wait for blue surfacing at the junctions.) Fingers crossed for more cycleways for Christmas? 🎄
The westbound cycle track on Section B of the Romford Rd scheme is now basically constructed but unopen.
The road along here has also been resurfaced.
