At the council cabinet meeting held on 6 September, after an 18 month trial period, the Mayor made the decision to make the boroughwide 20mph speed limit permanent.
Long standing Wheeler, Dave Tuckwell, recently attended a free cycle training session provided by Tower Hamlets. Dave tells us a little more about the training and his experience on the course:
LB Tower Hamlets are consulting on a filtered permeability scheme in the Cable Street area that aims to improve the pedestrian and cycle environment - see the consultation announcement and flyer distributed to residents.
Tower Hamlets Council has approved their new Cycle Strategy at the Cabinet meeting held on 5 January 2016. The Cycle Strategy itself and accompanying documents, including consultation responses can be found at Decision details - Tower Hamlets Cycling Strategy on the council's website.
Tower Hamlets Council has just published a new Cycling Strategy. Although it has some flaws, the new Strategy is a step in the right direction.
Please show the Council you support the Strategy by filling in a short questionnaire - and you could also win a new Brompton or a £50 John Lewis voucher: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/towerhamletscycling (reply by Nov 6th).
We have just had notification that the new 20mph borough-wide limit (except for TfL roads other than Commercial Street) will come into force on Monday 13th April.
Wheelers' Infrastructure Officer and Campaigns Co-ordinator have a meeting scheduled with the borough officers next week and will ask about the all important enforcement proposals. We'll keep you posted when we get more information.
Find out more and send your support of these proposals to LBTH using our handy web form and template letter. The deadline for comments is 31 October 2014.
