Will you consider moving the barriers that exist on London Bridge from their current location within the bus lanes to the edge of the pavements on the bridge? I have received complaints that the narrowing of the bus lane leads to buses not being able to manoeuvre past other traffic when the outside lanes are stationary, leading to the build up of traffic at busy times. A further concern is that the build up of traffic creates problems for cyclists who cannot make use of the bus lane and are forced to use other traffic lanes.
