1: it's mystifying why @hackneycouncil is still doubling down on a design that fails danger reduction badly at Pembury Circus; 2: see thread for WHY; 3: HT our fantastic local groups! Great campaign from @hackney_cycling , and they're not alone in their skills & determination.

Hackney’s decision to progress with a substandard design for Pembury Junction is deeply disappointing. It also exposes a lot of Hackney’s disjointed and confused thinking and policy making. This thread is important for your transport remit @SarahWoodberryD 👇 🧵

An astonishing thread from our neighbouring campaign @hackney_cycling showing Hackney Council continuing to pursue an outdated and dangerous scheme at Pembury Circus—against their own policies! Baking in danger for cycling & walking for another decade+ is outright irresponsible.

Council scrutiny committee votes to go with the council decision. No further scrutiny required. We will consider our options in relation to this and the precedent it sets

The new cycle tracks, sustainable drainage and planting is really transforming Westfield Ave in the Olympic Park - making the entire street much more people friendly. And what is that in the background? The first blue sky and sunshine I’ve seen this month. Wow!

1/ Hackney is moving forward with a Downham Road scheme without cycling provision. We don't think the decision makes any sense, and is a wasted opportunity. @SarahWoodberryD @mayorofhackney @carowoodley please read to understand the background of this strange decision ->

Hackney Council have been this way since ever. Officers are motor centric and generally cluelesss about what good cycling design looks like. When other boroughs were doing nothing, it was less noticeable. LTNs good, but when was the last good main road scheme they put in?

This re Downham broadly matches messages I @London_Cycling & @hackney_cycling got from others through this debacle (HT @hoxtonrich). Taking into account Pembury Circus, delayed LTNs but also @mayorofhackney @carowoodley talking at protest following Harry Webb & Gao Gao's death...

We're pleased that the decision (to proceed with Hackney Council's unsafe junction scheme) has been called-in, we hope that it will lead to the decision being reviewed by cabinet. We ask @hackneycouncil to refer jnct designs to @activetraveleng to assess & act on their feedback.

We're bitterly disappointed that, despite our best efforts, Hackney Council have signed off the decision to proceed with their Pembury Circus design. We've highlighted their design's flaws; how it does almost nothing to improve one of the borough's worst junctions for cyclists 1/

Downham Road: another Hackney failure Unbelievably @hackneycouncil's decision report failed to include HCC's official response: "We maintain... that a scheme on Downham Road that does not provide a safe cycle route will not contribute to model shift... @SarahWoodberryD 1/

Last year, following the deaths of 3 cyclists in Hackney, Mayor Woodley tweeted ‘We can do so much more to make Hackney’s streets safer’. A year on she's approved a design that falls far short. Nine months ago, a cyclist was left for dead by a driver here. hackneycitizen.co.uk/2024/10/15/cyc…

A tale of two boroughs: on paper, you couldn't get a rizla between Camden and Hackney's transport strategies. But while Camden builds cycle tracks through the LITERAL WEST END, read Hackney's justification for why cycling doesn't belong in Hackney Central. It's pretty shameful

Camden is consulting on new protected cycle lanes on Shaftesbury Avenue. It would extend the existing cycle tracks from Gower St/Bloomsbury St down to the border with Westminster. Nearby Phoenix St would also be closed to motor traffic consultations.wearecamden.org/supporting-com…

.@willnorman as a leader in efforts to make London's streets safer for walking & cycling we urge you to speak up: Hackney Council are proceeding with plans that include almost NO improvements to make cycling safe at a dangerous junction. There's an alternative design that's safer

BEFORE & AFTER: Queensbridge Road @hackneycouncil removed a white-paint cycle lane to put in two vehicular lanes. We should have had an upgraded, separated cycle track. Hackney Council need to answer what's more important: keeping cyclists safe or making car trips quicker?!

This is a once in a generation opportunity to provide a safe comfortable environment for cycling that will be in place for the next 30 years. These plans as they stand are a huge missed opportunity to provide a viable cycle route for generations to come @mayorofhackney .

NEW: A first look at the transformation of Amhurst Road into a greener, healthier street for a changing Hackney Central 💚 Find out more about the plans and how they’ve been shaped by local people: orlo.uk/4pUXX

This is the kind of tried and tested stuff @hackneycouncil should be doing. Junctions with protected and separate cycling built in are commonplace in Waltham Forest and Greater Manchester. Let’s do this in Hackney.

Surprisingly, I can confirm that this is real. Looks like it will be a great addition to the streetscape outside the school, thanks @Labourstone
