Thank you to all those residents who took part in the consultation and attended the public meetings organised by your local Councillors in relation to the proposed new cycle superhighway CS11 planned to cut through St John’s Wood. The scheme generated a lot of interest and resistance owing to the plan to close the gates into Regent’s Park and change the layout to the Swiss Cottage gyratory which would result in a displacement of traffic within NW8.
The petition, which attracted over 4,000 signatures was handed in to the Full Council at a recent meeting.
Cllr Lindsey Hall said: "Everyone supports improved cycling safety. What we don't support is increased gridlock, rat runs and the worsening of air pollution for all of those living in the local area."
We now await the official results of the consultation from TfL and the views of the new Mayor of London who will ultimately be responsible for its outcome. You can be assured your Abbey Road Councillors will continue to be lobbying for the interests of our residents.
