By creating a signed and safe route to school for children in Tufnell Park, we aim to integrate active travel into children’s daily routine. We aim to increase levels of children cycling and to reduce levels of childhood obesity.
Quick Wins (2012)
Here is a list of the Quick Wins and longer term schemes that we submitted to Councillor James Murray after he came to our October 2012 meeting. They are not in any order and are unedited!
Ditch the Archway Roundabout – Good turn out!
Over 200 cyclists and pedestrians took a circuit of the Archway gyratory on Thursday 1 March, organised jointly by Better Archway Forum, Islington Living Streets and ICAG.
Madras Place much better but…
but TfL have got signals engineers trying to sort out the grid locking on the junction
Madras Place Safer crossing – campaign success!
Dangers still exist for pedestrians and cyclists wishing to cross Holloway Road; by the end of the month, the present road works at Madras Place and Fieldway Crescent will be, we hope, an unalloyed success story for local campaigners working with Islington council officers and Transport for London (TfL).
All party support for 20 MPH on principal roads but only in principle
Ward councillors have been invited to request that the speed limit be changed to 20MPH on their local principal roads. We hope they accept quickly.
Our response to Islington’s unambitious Transport Strategy
Islington Council’s cycling targets are dwarfed by Camden and Hackney.
