10 Questions
Two Way Cycling in Seething Lane/ Muscovy
Street.
A member asked why officers had not leafleted local
residents and occupiers, outlining the proposal, as they had done
so previously a number of years ago when the proposal was first
suggested, and also why, given that circumstances in the area have
drastically changed since the idea was first conceived, what review
had been undertaken?
For example the redesigning of Seething Lane Gardens, the very busy
bars, hotels with frequent taxi drop offs, the introduction of the
CSH and the removal by TfL of the
railings which used to run along the whole length of Byward St. As well as ongoing development along the
road with construction vehicles, especially at the top end of
Seething Lane junction with Hart St/ Crutched Friars.
The concerns raised during the City's last consultation still stood
and given the changes in the area the proposal was even more
unsuitable and unsafe, especially for cyclists and
pedestrians.
Officers were asked that given the changes to the area and the
introduction of the CSH, what benefits would this proposal
bring?
Officers advised that a vigorous design process had been undertaken
and they would provide a written response to the
Member.
CitigenRoadworks
Officers agreed that lessons had been learned and would be fed into the design of the future works.
London Wall Place
Officers undertook to look into this and it was agreed that it should be added to the OR list.
