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.

We’re relaunching Spring 2019

Redbridge Cycling Campaign is relaunching in March 2019, with 2 events for people who’d like to see safer cycling in the borough.

First up on Sat 2nd March 2019 is a 1 hour bike ride looking at some of the best and the worst cycling conditions in Redbridge, followed by a 2 hour workshop where we’ll be discussing our top campaigning priorities & projects.

We’ll also spend a some time on the most dangerous spots we encountered on our morning ride, identifying what we want the council to do about them, and before the meeting has ended we will have submitted a formal request to the council for action.

Free refreshments including pizza.

For the ride meet us at 11am on Sat 2nd March 2019 at Wanstead Quakers Meeting House, Bush Road, Wanstead, E11 3AU.


Just over 2 weeks later at 7.30pm on Monday 18th March, we’ll host a second meeting to follow up on progress, and get our new activist team rocking & rolling.
