• TfL money available for mitigating measures for banned turns. Margaret Cooper suggested some ward asks that originally could not be funded
• Owen to write to J Biggs to request meeting – discussion items - space for cycling petition, safer lorries pledge (needs re-wording subtly), cycle strategy draft version beginning of September, invitation to meet consultants early.
• Looking for a new “strapline” for cycling in the borough.
Action: ask Mayor whether he will have a specific councillor for cycling
