This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

  • Mayor's Report November 2017
    16th Mayor’s Report to the Assembly MQT – 16th November 2017 This is my sixteenth Mayor’s Report to the Assembly, fulfilling my duty under Section 45 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. It covers the period from 29 September – 2 November 2017. Executive Summary Government cuts lead to reduction of police front counters On 1 November, I confirmed plans to reduce the number of police front counters in London and save an additional £8 million – equivalent to the cost of 140 police constables – in order to protect and support frontline policing as much as possible, and keep Londoners safe, in the face of Government cuts to police funding. These cuts to Metropolitan Police funding mean police officer numbers in London are falling, and this has meant we have had to consult on drastic measures in order to prioritise public safety and police officers on the beat. Warning police numbers will fall to 19-year low without more funding On 30 October, I made my strongest warning to date over Government police cuts as I called on the Chancellor to use next month’s Budget to end the funding crisis which is putting lives at risk at a time of rising crime, rising population and an unprecedented terror threat in the capital. I warned that police numbers in London would fall as dangerously low as 27,500 by 2021 without additional funding – the lowest level in 19 years. This would represent one police officer per 326 Londoners, compared to one officer per 242 Londoners in 2010 - a fall of 26 per cent.

  • Responses to Comments Walthamstow West Meeting 28 June 2006
    RESPONSES TO COMMENTS WALTHAMSTOW WEST MEETING 28 JUNE 2006. 1)Town Centre Regeneration K Lord was concerned about the arcade development and the general lack of progress with the Town Centre redevelopment. P Herlihy asked for a breakdown on expenditure to date for the site and other issues raised. Response: Anne Bonsor, Head of Regeneration Programmes The costs to date on the Arcade site are around the demolition costs, the Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) costs, specialist advisers, and ongoing security. To date these amount to £5.4m. The bulk of these costs have been around the costs of CPO and demolition and the breakdown is as follows: Security: £170,000 Portfolio Management Services £210,000 External advisors, legal and other £603,000 Demolition costs £440,718 Compensation payments £3.958,569 We appreciate that local people are very keen to know what will be happening on the Arcade site as it is a key site in the town centre and the council has been unable to release information on progress due to commercial confidentiality that revolve around the negotiation process. However, the council and preferred developer have in the last week agreed to terminate their partnership, as the developer was unable to give the necessary guarantees to the council that would safeguard the council's priorities for the revitalisation of the Town Centre. A joint statement was released to the local press to that end: “Bringing a cinema and a high quality development to Walthamstow Town Centre remains a very high priority for the Council. We have been unable to reach a mutually agreeable position with our preferred partner Henry Boot Developments to deliver our aspirations for the Arcade site.

    Resident Services Director of Highways & Traffic Management: Vala Valavan Argall Avenue, Leyton, London E10 7AS Email: [email protected] Direct line: 0208 496 3000 Date: 3 June 2021 Dear Resident/ Business owner, RE: Forest Road Reservoirs and Blackhorse Lane construction from summer 2021 As part of the regeneration taking place in and around the Blackhorse area, further changes to Forest Road (between Blackhorse Station and the border with Haringey) are planned to start from June 2021. Further improvements are also planned on Blackhorse Lane (between Blackhorse Road Junction and Hookers Road) which will link the recently completed junction scheme to the existing cycle tracks to the north to provide safer walking and cycling routes. These works are planned for later this year, and we will write to all effected residents and businesses before the work begins. Over the last few years, the area has benefitted from a range of walking and cycling improvements along Forest Road and parts of Blackhorse Road, Blackhorse Lane and Billet Road. This has included introducing new crossings and side road junction treatments, reducing road widths to discourage speeding, and installing a range of semi and fully segregated cycle lanes, providing safer and more accessible cycle routes across the borough from Redbridge all the way to the Walthamstow Wetlands, as well as from the Billet Roundabout towards Lea Bridge Road. More recently, the Blackhorse Road Junction underwent a huge transformation, making the junction safer and easier to navigate for all, and more befitting of a key public transport interchange. With over 4,000 new homes being built and planned to be completed by 2025, it’s important that we continue to improve and enhance the area to accommodate the increase in people walking and cycling.
