Support Tower Hamlets’ draft Transport Strategy

Submitted by alex on 7 September 2019

Our borough has recently published its draft transport strategy 2019-41. The good news is that it’s really positive and ambitious on cutting car use and boosting walking and cycling. But in order for it to get adopted without being watered down, it needs your support today. The survey closes on Sunday 15 September.

Ask for a more ambitious traffic reduction scheme in Bow (Harley Grove and Coborn Street)

Submitted by alex on 24 June 2018

There is a proposal currently out for consultation to improve road safety and reduce traffic around the Malmesbury Primary School and Central Foundation Girls' School in Bow. We strongly support these principles. However, the proposed scheme, which primarily consists of new one-way streets, is not good enough. It could easily be made a lot better by making the relevant streets no-through roads and part-time School Streets – a far more ambitious and effective approach.

Please respond to the consultation on Cable Street and Cycle Superhighway 3

Submitted by alex on 16 January 2018

A new consultation is out on changes to Cable St, including some improvements to Cycle Superhighway 3. Whilst we would like to see the scheme go further, there are some good proposals here, in particular a major improvement to the confusing junction with Sutton St and a new parallel pedestrian/cyclist zebra crossing and contraflow cycle lane at King David Lane.

The Borough is currently consulting on a “Neighbourhood Refresh” for the Weavers ward (the north-west corner of Tower Hamlets, around Columbia Road). A major aim of the Neighbourhood Refresh programme is to make roads safer, particularly for people cycling and walking. We think these proposals could be made a lot better, so we urge you to respond to the consultation by its closing date of 30 September. A suggested text is provided below.

"Cycle facility" at Bethnal Green Road west

Submitted by owen on 4 March 2013
"Cycle facility" at Bethnal Green Road west

At the end of 2012, THW was consulted by LB Tower Hamlets on a scheme for the western end of Bethnal Green (between St Matthew's Row and Shacklewell Street). It involves the road being narrowed and cycle tracks built either side of the road in between the parking bays and pavement.
