Temporary shuttle bus service at Highbury Corner

  • Reference: 2018/0102
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
During the closure of Holloway Road at Highbury Corner over Christmas, you provided a temporary shuttle bus from Highbury Corner to the Nag's Head Shopping Centre. Residents have complained that this bus did not stop at existing bus stops so it did not help those living along the route. Which policies determine where temporary shuttle buses such as this will stop?

Lifts at new Ealing Broadway Crossrail station

  • Reference: 2018/0095
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 18 January 2018
The lifts proposed for the new Ealing Broadway Crossrail station do not meet London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS) minimum dimensions and as such would be unable to accommodate non-standard cycles.
