Advanced Cycle Lane Box Removed Grove Tavern

[Townleygreen]

This is really bad and requires urgent action, PLEASE

[James Barber]

No I've not heard and have chased.

Will escalate via Caroline Pidgeon Assembly Member.

James. Nearly three more weeks have passed. Have you heard anything further back from TFL or from Caroline Pigeon the London Assembly Member to whom you were going to escalate this matter?

[James Barber]

No I've not heard more and nor has AM Caroline Pidgeon.

I'll ask her if she can escalate this.

[hertburs]

Thank you James. Dealing with TFL seems to be like swimming in treacle.

[James Barber]

This is the response form TfL I've received via Caroline Pidgeon's office - success:

"

Dear Caroline

Thank you for your email.

I can confirm arrangements are being made to re-install the Advanced Stop Line with the feeder lane. The works will be completed in early July.

In the meantime, please extend our apologies to Cllr Barber for any confusion caused by our previous emails on this matter.

Kind regards

"

Wonderful news James. Well done. Common sense at last!

[hertburs]

James. I am sorry to have to raise this again but another month has gone by since the promise was madeto you to reinstate the Advanced Cycle Lane Box by early July. It is certainly no longer early July and nothing has happened. Yet another promise has been broken by TFL! Would you and Caroline Pigeon mind chasing this yet again? It is disgraceful that you should need to have to do this but we all appear to be being treated with contempt by TFL.

TfL promised a new bus stop just up the road from the Grove by March 22 (after the old one was knocked down by a car in November 2015). Still no sign of it either.

This junction is nasty enough at the best of times as a cyclist - since that left hand filter can leave you nowhere to go. Would be good to get it replaced again while it's still peak cycling season!
