Cycling issues for Boris Johnson at the mayoral question time.
Ones to watch:
Question No: 2697 / 2008 Jenny Jones How many LCN+ borough cycling schemes put forward for 2009/10 were unfunded in the Transport for London settlement with the boroughs? What is the total number of schemes which have either gone, or are going, through the LCN+ CRISP study process, and now remain without funding? Jenny’s strategy of embarrassing the Mayor by demonstrating that he isn’t the cyclist’s friend he claims continues. More to the point, the London Cycling Campaign aren’t happy with Boris. Question No: 2720 / 2008 Jenny Jones Can you explain the apparent contradiction between scrapping the Victoria Embankment Garden project which was due to deliver a cycle track along Embankment and your statement in ‘Way to Go’ that it is a disgrace that there is no cycle track there? Question No: 2756 / 2008 John Biggs Did you consult with cyclist groups when developing this initiative? Please, if so, describe the extent of your consultation and if not why not? See the LCC for details of how they were consulted (and ignored, in the end). http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=1245 Question No: 2780 / 2008 Valerie Shawcross How many fatal and serious accidents involving cyclists and non- articulated buses have there been each year since 2005/06? Question No: 2803 / 2008 Valerie Shawcross On 10th September 2007 you said articulated buses “wipe out cyclists, there are many cyclists killed every year by them”. Given that there have been no fatal incidents and only four serious incidents involving articulated buses and cyclists since they were introduced, on what evidence did you base this claim? Finally: Serious question again. Question No: 2903 / 2008 Caroline Pidgeon You claim to be very keen to get more people cycling in London, but have cut funding for cycle schemes by half. Given that the Chief Executive of the London Cycling Campaign has strongly condemned this funding cut, why have you disregarded the views of cycling organisations in London? I am tremendously looking forward to Johnson answering that list of questions.... |

Twice she has presented me with an award for my small cycling group, I was delighted that the LCC presented her with a special award list year for her services to cycling. |
