What will the new borough administration do for cycling?

Submitted by alex on 2 June 2018

The run-up to the local elections 2018 was a busy time for Tower Hamlets Wheelers. It included our hosting a lively and well-attended cycling and walking mayoral hustings, and we also published the Tower Hamlets Cycling Manifesto 2018–22: this set out our positive vision for cycling in the borough over the next four years, and six of the seven mayoral candidates (including the re-elected incumbent, John Biggs) committed to this.
