| 'Councillor Hanif Khan, Hounslow Council Cabinet Member for Transport, said,“This consultation is a great opportunity for anyone who lives, works or visits our borough to give their views on TfL’s proposal to extend Cycleway 9, from Brentford to Hounslow. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the conversation. The ability for more people to have safer cycling journeys, and to connect more areas of London to a cycling network, is a vital part of our work to support healthier lifestyles, free up space on public transport, and encourage more people away from private car journeys.” Is there really a point in anybody responding to this 'consultation' - given that absolutely no notice whatsoever is taken of what the consultees think? I have yet to see all these cyclists that we're constantly assured are out there pedalling away, and you do get plenty of observational time whilst sitting in the clogged-up traffic these potty schemes cause. What a pity that the two sides of TfL don't talk - we know that the bus operators didn't want to move the bus stop in South Street Isleworth but the other lot that promote cycle lanes did - it's the politics of the madhouse. |
