Cycling in Outer London

  • Reference: 2017/3727
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Harrow Cyclists and Branch Cyclists (local borough branches of the London Cycling Campaign) have approached me about your ambitions for London to be a 'byword for cycling' and promise of a 'mini-Holland' in every borough. However, concerns have been expressed about poor provision for cycling in recently announced road schemes. What plans will you have in your new London Plan and your Transport Strategy to deliver your vision and deliver cycling initiatives in Outer London and improve provision of cycling?

Taunton Way - Junction with Honeypot Roundabout

  • Reference: 2017/3725
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Local residents and ward councillors have raised the issue of road markings at the junction of Taunton Way and the Honeypot Roundabout. Currently, the left lane for traffic coming out of Taunton way can only turn left in to Honeypot Lane going towards Kingsbury. Previously it was used both for going left and straight. Concerns have been raised about current system being more confusing and dangerous for drivers who wants go straight into Charlton Road. Can TfL please address this issue and explore a way to allow traffic flow but also have a system that does not deter/confuse drivers?

Camrose Avenue, Harrow: Speeding & Safety - 'Community Road Watch' (2)

  • Reference: 2017/3724
  • Question by: Navin Shah
  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Local residents and Ward Councillors have raised their serious concerns about speeding traffic (in excess of 50mph). Local concerns also include speeding of double decker buses in the morning. To prevent speeding and make Camrose Avenue safe for local residents and pupils/parents of the local primary school, can Met Police (local SNT), who have responsibility to enforce speed limits on public highway, tell me whether they have carried out any speed limit checks on this road? If not, I would suggest that Community Road Watch initiative is implemented as a matter of priority to implement speed limit enforcement in this...

Camrose Avenue, Harrow: Speeding & Safety - Speed Camera (1)

  • Reference: 2017/3723

  • Meeting date: 14 September 2017
Local residents and Ward Councillors have raised serious concerns about speeding traffic (in excess of 50mph). Local concerns also include speeding of double decker buses in the morning and queries whether these buses are in sound condition. To prevent speeding and deal with road safety issues for local residents and pupils/parents of the local primary school, can TfL install speed camera on this road? If the response is negative, could you please explain the rationale for this? Can TfL also examine if they can introduce width restrictions on this road to assist local residents?
