Eleven years ago, @LutfurRahmanTH understood the importance of saving lives by investing in safe cycling infrastructure. What's changed?

[Croydon Cycling Campaign @CroydonCyclists]

@SaveBGstreets Sorting through the archives, found this from 8 November 2013, a letter to the Evening Standard about cycling safety from Lutfur Rahman, Mayor of Tower Hamlets, urging the Mayor of London to take urgent action. How times change!

We've been getting reports of @TowerHamletsNow Enforcement Officers harassing cyclists as they go through the shared pavement between Columbia Road and Gosset Street, outside The Birdcage pub. Has this happened to you? If so, we'd love to hear about it - get in touch!

Works under way in (gasp!) Tower Hamlets.

The contraflow cycle track has been removed. I think it will get replaced by a two-way cycle track where the previous track was.

[Save Our Safer Streets - Tower Hamlets @SaveBGstreets]

Read why local parent Kate would be devastated if Lutfur Rahman spends £2m ripping out our safer streets.

Since the LTNs came in, car collisions near schools in the scheme area have dropped from 3 per year to just 1.

We CAN'T go back to dangerous streets. #SaveOurSaferStreets

Fuel duty frozen for another year, while the bus fare cap is increased by 50%!

[London Cycling Campaign @London_Cycling]

[NEW] London lorries safer forever thanks to 10+ years of @London_Cycling campaigning, as our trustee Dr Nedah Darabi explains.

⛔️ But it's not over. We checked every London council lorry contract, and some are incredibly poor.

Very disappointing news from @SarahWoodberryD @mayorofhackney @carowoodley, following the already disappointing decision regarding Pembury Circus.
The DfT road collision dataset will keep piling up new entries as long as @hackneycouncil does not properly engage with stakeholders

[Hackney LCC @hackney_cycling]

1/ Hackney is moving forward with a Downham Road scheme without cycling provision.

We don't think the decision makes any sense, and is a wasted opportunity.

@SarahWoodberryD @mayorofhackney @carowoodley please read to understand the background of this strange decision ->

Sign this petition opposing the removal of the Bethnal Green Low Traffic Neighbourhood.

Consultation after consultation reveals this LTN is popular and people want to keep it.

Despite this the Mayor of Tower Hamlets has vowed to open it back up to motor traffic.

[LondonLivingStreets @LDN_LS]

Please do support this petition if you have a few moments.

Injured cyclist slams council's £19m redesign of Pembury junction

HCC has deep concerns over the sub par redesign of Pembury Circus, which raises serious questions about Hackney Council's commitment to safety and the principles of Vision Zero.

[Save Our Safer Streets - Tower Hamlets @SaveBGstreets]

Lutfur Rahman has decided to cut down the trees and tear out the cycle lanes in this photo and replace it with thousands of cars despite repeated objections from residents and stakeholders. Sign our petition to get the Mayor of London to stop this.

🚨 Hackney Council is about to greenlight a dangerous junction redesign at Pembury Circus.
Their plans don't align with their own Vision Zero policy to eliminate traffic deaths. Worse, they KNOW a safer, more efficient design exists, and they're ignoring it.

In 2022, Lutfur Rahman was elected with a promise to remove Tower Hamlets safer streets. 2.5 years later, they are still here. I love Arnold Circus, I doubt anyone would want it back the way it was. A sensible evolution in making London for people rather than polluting vehicles

We want urgent and meaningful action from @ThamesWater and @NewhamLondon to make Abbey Road safe for all users, quickly.
