When Streetspace was announced, you said it would include a range of measures including: “creating sections of temporary segregation from Merton to Elephant and Castle, and Pimlico to Putney. Space for cycling will be created between Catford town centre and Lewisham via the A21, and on the A23 between Oval and Streatham Hill.” I understand now that you intend to complete this programme by the end of this summer, so could you provide planned completion dates and lengths in km for each section of the temporary separated cycle lanes you are building?

Constituents have raised concerns with me about the slow pace of progress on the Streetspace programme. Why is it taking so long to award money and deliver these schemes on the streets: is it the availability of money to invest, equipment to deliver change on the ground, or political commitment?
