Hackney cyclists to protest following two deaths in borough
Cyclists in the London Borough of Hackney are to hold a protest calling for safer streets after two people were killed while riding their bikes there in the past six weeks, and say that repeated calls for safety improvements to be made have been ignored.that local residents first urged the local council seven years ago to make Whiston Road, where a 36-year-old woman was killed on 21 September, safer for vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
While some were put in place, such as early start traffic lights, residents remain frustrated that further action, such as the implementation of a planned low traffic neighbourhood was not taken. The council said that it was unable to take any action until the Metropolitan Police have concluded their investigations into both crashes with Rickardo Hyatt, the council’s group director for climate, homes and economy, saying: “We are deeply saddened by news of the tragic deaths of cyclists on Whiston Road and Kenworthy Road, and our thoughts are with their friends and families.
“We are engaging closely with the local community to consider their concerns and continue to look at what changes can be made to make these roads safer.”We’ve noticed you’re using an ad blocker.
