If you are a member of London Cycling Campaign, you will already know about this protest ride. If you are not, here are the details.
Following the recent death of a young man killed while cycling through the junction of Stratford High Street and Carpenters Road, the London Cycling Campaign is holding a short protest ride.
Date: Monday 24 February 2025
Time: Gather at 6:15pm to ride at 6:30pm
Place: Junction of the Greenway and High Street
You will need to make your own way to the start point.
The following is taken from the email sent to LCC members. It explains what LCC want TfL and Newham Council to do.
‘We’re calling on TfL and Newham Council to improve the junctions so that no one has to risk their life cycling through here.
This junction is one of a cluster rated among the most dangerous for cycling in Newham that have been known for decades to be inadequately designed for cycle safety along Cycleway 2 (C2), one of the first protected cycle tracks in London.
When the Mayor and TfL make “improvements”, they are failing to make junctions truly safer for people walking and cycling. So, we’re demanding not just that the Mayor and TfL get back on track on junctions, but also that they take rapid and bold action here in Stratford.’
