Take action: have your say on Nine Elms and Battersea Park Road.

For something that was billed as being ‘better than Amsterdam’ for cycling, the new proposals for Nine Elms and Battersea Park Road are woeful.

Instead of having a safe, physically separate, cycle lane along this wide road, cyclists will have to make do with a part-time bus lanes and painted cycle lanes. The major junctions will still offer cyclist and pedestrians no protection from ‘left hooks’, where vehicles can turn across people heading straight on - incredibly risky given the high number of large lorries in the area.

This is far below the standard needed to encourage large numbers of people to cycle, and doesn’t match the Mayor’s ambition to make London a ‘byword for cycling around the world’.
