Local Byelaws

A member reported that a recent event involving a large group of people riding scooters had caused significant congestion and the CoLP were unable to take any action as scooters were not included in local byelaws restricting cycling.

The Sub-Committee asked the City Solicitor to review existing byelaws to establish what the definition of a ‘vehicle’ was, whether it included other wheeled transport such as scooters, and to also establish the process required (if needed|) to include other wheeled modes of transport to be prohibited from City Walkway.

Newgate Street Closure

In response to a question concerning the closure of Newgate Street and the resulting congestion, the Chairman reported that he had asked officers to explore with TfL the possibility of reinstating the yellow grid box at the junction and to consider rephasing the traffic lights. Officers would also monitor the area to try and identify further mitigating measures.
