Liveable Neighbourhood funding, next meeting Monday 18th March

Following on from our exploratory ride and workshop at the start of the month, we’re holding a meeting on 18th March to identify some of high priority activities we want to progress.

There have also been 2 big developments in Redbridge in the last few days. Firstly yesterday’s news that Redbridge Council have been successful in winning funding from Transport for London for a Liveable Neighbourhood in Ilford Town. And secondly that the council is consulting on its Local Implementation Plan.

If you want to see better conditions for cycling in Redbridge, and have time to come to our meeting to offer your support, we’d love to see you.

 

Meeting details:   7.30am Monday 18th March at Wanstead House, 21 The Green, E11 2NT.
