Olympics Cycling Legacy

  • Reference: 2011/1459
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Will you personally investigate the adequacy of the proposed legacy cycling facility? It is a wide view of users and supporters that a track is being provided which is not suitable for its purpose and that this is being driven more by the property development opportunities than the needs of cyclists for a fit legacy use.

Renwick Road potential C2C station

  • Reference: 2011/1456
  • Question by: John Biggs
  • Meeting date: 18 May 2011
Do you support the idea of exploring once again the potential for a new station at Renwick Road, in Barking, to improve transport access to new housing in the area in advance of a potential DLR link? It has previously been argued that only one new station, at Beam Reach, could be added on the line, in preference to Renwick Road. Would you agree also to recommend re-examining this decision - and the potential that two new stations could ultimately, be provided?
