We had a great weekend of events for London Cycling Campaign, with the breakfast in Clissold Park (we expect this will become a regular fixture!) and several rides (including a feeder to @kidicalmasslond.bsky.social). Thanks to everyone who came out!

There may be a 20km round-the-borough ride also, intended for more experienced / confident riders, but we're not sure if we have the marshal numbers to run that yet. So particularly if that sounds up your street, get in touch.

If you are a confident rider with experience of led rides, and be interested in helping marshal either of these events, please get in touch!

If you have not responded yet, please do it now!! The consultation aims to draw out people's experience of using Bank junction - information which cannot be simply derived from traffic movement surveys. Your views and number of responses have an effect! Just one week to go! bank-taxi.commonplace.is

Worth supporting. Even if you never step foot in Tower Hamlets, if you like the idea of TfL not pointlessly burning money, this should be of interest! The precedent set by the previous decision is when TfL agrees a plan with a borough, and funds that plan, councils can't just bulldoze it all later.

And our thanks to the outgoing Labour adminstration led by @carolinewoodley.bsky.social, and cabinet member for transport @sarahwoodberrydown.bsky.social for everything they achieved for active travel.

Last question: Is Hackney doing enough to communicate the scale of change required to the community? Zoe: no. We are dominated by #BigCar Caroline: Talks about Walking and Cycling conference. Says lots of good sharing there. Also talked about a wonderful #bikebus experience.
000
Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
She also says speed is happening, talks about Chatsworth Road, Hoxton and Pembury all being delivered. Zoe says she would want to see why the council is moving so slowly. Tareke (Conservative) says he would prioritise high quality cycle lanes.
100
Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Q: Pembury was delivered despite being said not to be safe for children to cycle through by Hackneys cycle instructors. What will the Mayor do to ensure higher quality and also speed them up? Caroline says the Pembury scheme was pedestrian prioritised (and is safer for cycling)
100
Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Question: how will the Mayor reduce SUVs in Hackney? Caroline says parking strategy helps penalise heavier vehicles.
120
Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
A great question: how will a Mayoral candidate from one party work if the ruling party is made up of another. Hackney could well see a Labour Mayor and Green Council or vice-versa. Answers are all good but essentially this could get tricky.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Would you be happy letting your child cycle across the new Pembury junction. Woodley says she would be happier now than before. She also says she thinks routes that don't go via Pembury are preferable. Zoe says she was shocked that Hackney Labour supported this scheme.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Question time: A member of the Dalston LTN support group asks what the Mayor will do to ensure local support is not ignored for road danger reduction scheme? Lots of good answers. Zoe says she wants to work with communities and ensure communication is better..

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Ask 5. Slightly interesting one from us. We want Mayoral support of road pricing. 2 support, The conservatives do not.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Ask 4 Connect Hackneys town centres and tackle dangerous junctions. Fully supported.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Ask 3: Reduce kerbside car space by 10% Again 2 of 3 candidates support.
Another slide in screen

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
Ask 2: Continue to roll out LTNs and gateway crossings across the borough. Both Labour and Greens support. The Conservatives do not.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 16/04/2026
OK, next up is the asks from @hackneycycling. All candidates support this! Whooho

Zoe also states she would not tolerate back any current LTN scheme. But she thinks that LTNs are inherently a scheme to build on with more Comms.

Now up @zoegarbett.bsky.social for @hackneygreenparty.bsky.social She delivers a 5minute tour of the green party plans. These are based on safety as a starting point. She reminds the room of the 158 casualties last year on Hackneys roads. She also highlights Hackney doesn't say that LTNs are

Tangentially, the junction also now seems massively overdesigned now given the reduced traffic during the bus gate's hours of operation. If it were turned into a t-junction, that could free up space for improvements like seating / greening / bike parking.

Hackney Cycling Campaign @hackneycycling.org.uk · 24/03/2026
Agreed! You can request new cycle parking here (scroll to the bottom), I assume this is at least looked at occaisionally when they decide where to install new parking: www.hackney.gov.uk/parking-stre... These days I imagine Lime's data / money is also a major guiding factor too though.
