The London Cycling Campaign website has a report on the last Mayor's Question Time, where Caroline Pidgeon questioned the Mayor on the consultation process for creating segregated cycle superhighways - and particularly on the potential conflict of interest around the role of the finance director of Canary Wharf Group.
Caroline Pidgeon thanked the Mayor for the update and emphasised that the plans are hugely popular with Londoners, with 80% supporting the consultation and 2 to 1 in a recent poll supporting the superhighways even if they result in longer journey times for motorists. But, she said, “We know there are powerful vested interests that have been publicly and privately opposing these plans.” She asked if Peter Anderson, TfL Board member and finance director of Canary Wharf Group, who are still very heavily lobbying against the plans, would be sitting on the committee that decides on the 25th November.
