http://forum.ctc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=58361GLA MOTION ON CYCLE SAFETY REVIEW FALLS AS CONSERVATIVE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS WALK OUT.
The following motion on cycle safety was not taken today, as Conservative assembly members and one independent assembly member, left the meeting inquorate.
“This Assembly deeply regrets the deaths of cyclists on London's road network and wishes to express its condolences for the loss felt by their relatives and friends. We are concerned that some cyclist deaths and injuries could have been avoided if the road network designs for the locations where these deaths and injuries occurred had been safer. We therefore call on the Mayor and Transport for London to:
• produce a list of the ten most dangerous locations for cyclists on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) and all locations in London where a cyclist has died in the last three years;
• report on any proposals that were put forward by cycling and road safety groups as part of official consultation processes for redesigning roads at those locations; and provide the reasons why any such proposals were rejected.”
Jenny Jones said:
"The Tory walkout before we could take the cycling motion was perhaps partly based on embarrassment at the Mayor's poor safety record. He has consistently ignored cycling campaigners' advice on how to make junctions safe, leaving cyclists vulnerable to the faster traffic. This is playing with people's lives, not delivering good government for London." |
