Stuart campaigns against cycling blackspot
Local campaigner Stuart Barr has demanded to know from Transport for London (TfL) why they haven't carried out promised life-saving road safety work north of Oval.The 100m where the A3 and A23 merge alongside Kennington Park is one of the least-safe places for cycling in London, with cyclists having to cross several lanes of very fast traffic.
Stuarts says: "TfL promised residents it would be carried out last year. This is North Lambeth's busiest junction for cycles but it seems as if they're waiting for fatalities before anything happens.
"We must make sure that the needs of cyclists are properly catered for when TfL designs road layouts. That will improve safety for all road users and pedestrians alike."
