We need urgent progress on cycle safety

Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the fourth London cyclist to die on London’s roads in just eight days, said:

“Our sympathy must be with the families and friends of all these people who have had their lives so cruelly taken away in recent days.

“It is now absolutely imperative that the Mayor and Transport for London redouble their efforts to make our roads safer for everyone.”

“The Mayor has a vision for cycling which is fine, but the only thing that matters is whether rapid changes now take place on London’s roads. Within months rather than years we must see real progress on improving the layout of many junctions as well as a roll out of segregated cycle lanes for cyclists.”
