| Guy, this not a Government directive. This is a scheme local authorities can either implement or not. Its quite clear along with other boroughs you guys went tearing off to grab the money and to hell with residents and what they think. In fact below is the letter from the Department for Transport sent to councils. It makes clear to get more money in future you should have a swift and meaningful plan, which in the case of Enfield road would seem to have been cobbled together in five minutes. So why would I want to write to Grant Shapps. It is you and fellow Councillors who are responsible for this and you and your fellow Councillors are responsible for not consulting the people who you claim to represent. It is yet another example of Hounslow's complete contempt for the opinion of locals Millions of pounds will be “released as soon as possible so that work can begin at pace on closing roads to through traffic, installing segregated cycle lanes and widening pavements,” says a letter sent to English local authorities on May 27. “To receive any money under this or future tranches, you will need to show us that you have a swift and meaningful plan to reallocate road space to cyclists and pedestrians, including strategic corridors,” continues the letter, signed by Rupert Furness, a deputy director of the Department for Transport in London. |
