My visit to Heddon Street was in aid of this piece about restaurants in the Regent Street area. Times have changed since the early 1970s (he wrote, demonstrating extraordinary insight): www.onlondon.co.uk/hannah-milne... #London
Pop quiz. Do I need to get specific? #london
Where am I? Clue. It’s in Southwark.
The bell and the Eye. Right now. #London
If bus users and pedestrians shaped transport policy in proportion to their numbers, cycling would not get the disproportionate public spending and policy prominence it has come to enjoy.
Bit of an exaggeration.
No. The originators of the cover up accusation were cycling campaigners. They had a point.
Hasn’t read the article.
Bicycle campaigners and enthusiasts have been directly shaping and influencing the capital's transport policy at considerable taxpayer expense since at least 2013: www.london.gov.uk/press-releas.... They form a highly effective middle-class pressure group.
London Councils is an important, cross-party organisation representing all 33 of the capital's local authorities. On Tuesday, it will elect its new chair. Tim Donovan has found out who that is likely to be: www.onlondon.co.uk/hammersmith-....
By working together to offer more, restaurants can help each other and make entire neighbourhoods more appealing
What if, Dave, they just don’t like cyclists dying, and would prefer a public realm that catered to everyone and not just car owners
Well connected cycle lobby my arse. Who do think were the originators of the accusations of a TFL coverup?
Why of course, it's those two well connected anti cycling infrastructure campaigners Vincent Stops and John Stewart.....
Anyone writing about London transport issues who uses the term:
"well-connected cyclist lobby"
is deeply unserious and doesn't know what they are on(London) about.
