Last year Londons cyclists identifed at least one action to be taken in each ward to make the roads safer. Although led by the capitals’ cyclists the actions bring road safety improvements across London for everyone.

During the local elections each candidiate was asked to support the proposals and seek the improvements if elected.

A few of these promisses have been met but many haven’t. The Havering cycling community is now working on a petition to remind the councillors that we still want to make our roads safer.

If you would like to support the petition then please sign up at

Havering Space for Cycling Petition

Remember even if you personally don’t cycle you, are a pedestrian and these improvements will help you too, also your friends and family may be cyclists so ask them to sign the petition.

You will be able to sign up and also see what improvements we have asked for in Havering .

These include:

• lowering vehicle speeds
• removing through motor traffic on minor/residential streets
• installing physically protected space for cycling on main roads
• opening up our green areas for cycling
• creating safe cycle routes to schools
• improving London’s town centres to make them easier to visit by bike
