I've just been sent this info. I hope it belongs in this section, given that extending the bike hire scheme is a hot ED forum issue and it's a chance to gossip...


'Cyclists are invited to come to chat and cycle about cycle issues with Jenny Jones, London Assembly member, tomorrow, Tuesday 10th May.


08:00: Meet at Camberwell Green.

09:30: Cycle to Clapham common (Clapham common/Long road near the Long pond) to meet Wandsworth cyclists.

Potentially explore the soon-to-open CS8 Superhighway route from Wandsworth to Millbank.

12:00: End at City Hall.


Jenny Jones is keen to improve cycling around London, raise cycle awareness and to expand the cycle hire scheme to the same scale (at least) as the Paris Velib. If the London scheme were on the same scale as Paris, Camberwell would be within the area of the scheme.'

Thanks for posting but it's a shame it's a bit too late for most people to read and do anything about :(


I would love to participate but with this much notice there's little i can do at 11pm to change my schedule...


Sorry...


(poor show if you've just been notified of this at this late stage,

could this not be re-arranged to allow more people to do something who wish to show their support??!)

I might also question who this is aimed at helping.

If this is to aid commuters on their run into town (as the majority user)

then surely it would be better to schedule this outside of working hours??


As an LCC member, I'm saddened to see the lack of thought and consideration

that appears to have gone into this campaign. Have the LCC been invited, do

they form part of this consultation?


Please correct me if i have missed something.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

      or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

      Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
