Cycling in Walthamstow Central

  • Question by: Jennette Arnold OBE
  • Meeting date: 26 January 2011
For the past 18+ months, the cycle phase signals at the junction of Hoe Street/Selborne Road in Walthamstow Central have had hoods placed over them, and there is a sign that says 'cyclists dismount' next to a sign indicating a cycle lane. When one of my constituents complained to TFL, she was advised they were in consultation but when she checked at her local cycle group meeting she learned that they had not been consulted. Will you please reassure my constituents that the cycle phase signals will be reinstated?
