Transport for London back down over Blackfriars junction plans

Caroline has welcomed Transport for London's decision to back down over their design proposals for the new Blackfriars junction.

After a site visit in April, Caroline expressed her strong objections to TfL's plans, which would have led to the removal of an existing cycle lane, with priority given to vehicles rather than pedestrians and cyclists.

Full details of Transport for London's new proposals can be seen at the Cycle London City blog.

Caroline commented:
"The new plans for Blackfriars Bridge are to be welcomed and ensure that there is a cycle lane southbound for the hundreds of cyclists who use the bridge. I am delighted that TfL has listened and seen sense on this issue."
