To Sadiq Khan - Mayor of London 8th November 2019 Transport for London Diane Abbott - MP Margaret Gordon, Ian Rathbone, Deniz Oguzkanli – Councillors for Lea Bridge Ward Re: Letter In Protest Against The Planned Cycle Lane on Lea Bridge Road London E5 Dear Sirs/Madam, I’m a concerned resident on Lea Bridge road & I’m writing to protest against the planned cycle lane along Lea Bridge Road / Clapton Roundabout / Kenninghall Road. The cycle lane will have a very severe impact on all local residents and the community. Consideration needs to be given to all local residents / property owners along Lea Bridge Road, before implementation of the scheme. There are many wheelchair users/ less-abled residents(including parents) & family members on this road, who regularly visit would be denied access to family social gatherings/events at all times of year. The new scheme would prevent deliveries of online shopping, fast food deliveries, mini cab/Uber pickup/ drop offs, emergency services and access for community / sporting events in the park. 2 The proposed changes mean we would lose all access to parking & loading facilities, making it impossible to receive any deliveries, get maintenance work done (Tradesmen would not be able to park or have access to tools/ equipment). It is unsafe for local residents returning late at night, due to anti social behaviour, car crime, lack of Police presence, and lack of good lighting. The proposed changes would prevent the community from attending the local mosque (Madina Mosque Trust). As this a very popular and well attended place of worship. There are a large number of worshippers who have been prevented from using the other local mosque in Cazenove Road, due to parking restrictions - we do not want the same thing to happen to our local mosque, which is a central part of our Muslim community. The traffic lanes on all exits to the roundabout will be drastically reduced, severely increasing traffic congestion in the whole local and neighbouring areas, increasing pollution & reducing air quality for local residents – which will go against the reasons for the introduction of the scheme. TFL / The Mayor need to ensure a balance is kept whilst making cycling and walking pleasant, with the needs / accessibility of local residents and community. There are other options available to TFL / The Mayor for westbound cycle lane – all should be fully explored and given serious consideration. We can think of 2 alternative options for the westbound cycle lane, listed below: Option 1 - Have both East and westbound cycle lanes going through North Millfields Park. (Westbound cyclists could join via, Greenway cycle path , or by crossing lights at River Lea or Chatsworth Road and then rejoin the roundabout on Upper Clapton Road. Option 2 – Westbound cyclists turn left at Chatsworth Road , right onto Millfields Road, right onto Lower Clapton Road, left onto Downs Road and then join the proposed cycle route at Queensdown Road. Both above alternatives would be safer & pleasant for the cyclists and much less disruptive to the local residents/community & enable the westbound bus lane to remain unchanged, keeping travel time for bus users in the morning to a minimum. We understand the need to reduce air pollution & thus the idea for a cycle lane. However, this needs to be carefully balanced with the needs of local residents & the local community therefore, if a cycle lane is implemented they must ensure that there is still comparable amounts of space for parking and loading along Lea Bridge road (west bound) as is currently available. Most residents have been living here for some time & are now ageing. We are very upset & concerned that we will be facing great hardship with access to our homes & everyday life & be left lonely in our old age, as family will not be able to come & care or visit us. We hope our views will be given serious consideration. Yours sincerely, 3 Campaign 2 – text of submission and the issues we identified from it We identified the following issues in Campaign 2: Will have a positive impact on the local area (Dalston, Hackney, Millfields Park, Lea Bridge Road, etc) Like idea of new tree lined park Negative impacts outweigh positive impacts of proposal Waste of money/will have no effect Will increase journey times (any form of transport) Will increase traffic on other streets Will not improve traffic/congestion/ will not reduce motor vehicle usage Not good for the environment/ will increase pollution Cyclists do not use dedicated cycle lanes/not enough demand to implement Cyclists will not use during inclement weather/rainy/cold seasons Local community does not match cyclist profile (BAME, young, elderly, disabled, low income) Road users will still disobey road laws (u-turns) Will cause overtaking/reckless driving/tail-gating Will increase wait times at stop lights Will not improve connections/commuting/direct links Will not reduce/change road usage/mode of transport - unspecified Women would not cycle/use cycle lanes (have buggies/shopping) Concerns about crime/bike theft Roads will not be safer/will not safely separate cyclists, pedestrians and motorists Will have a negative impact on Chatsworth Road (blocking/no left turn) Will have a negative impact on Hackney Area (more traffic/less accessible/not fit with demographics) Will have a negative impact on Lea Bridge Roundabout (Clapton Roundabout) (blocking/route changes/more traffic/worse than now) Will have a negative impact on Powell Road (blocking exit/entrance at Kenninghall/Brooke Road) Dislike relocation/loss of bus stop/route Negative impact for BAME community (increase in bus journey times) Negative impact for children/school runs (unpleasant/not safer) Negative impact for cyclists/cycling (unpleasant/not encourage/not safer) Negative impact for local residents (unpleasant/not safer) Negative impact for low income/disadvantage residents (unpleasant/not safer/not economical) Negative impact for peak hour travel (unpleasant/not safer) Negative impact for pedestrians/walking (unpleasant/not encourage/not safer) Negative impact for people going to Madina Mosque/places of worship (will prevent attendance, parking restrictions) Negative impact for people with disabilities (unpleasant/not safer) 4 Negative impact for public transport (unpleasant/not encourage/too slow) Negative impact for the elderly (unpleasant/not safer) Negative impact for work commutes (unpleasant/not safer) Biased towards/only benefits cyclist Lack of contact/discussion from TfL (to Stakeholders/Mosques/Education facilities, etc) Learn from past mistakes/how bad the last proposal turned out Loss of parking spaces Need more information (parking provision times, etc) New cycle quality criteria/requirements not met Poorly planned/poorly considered/not properly consulted schemes Should allocate funds to subsidise purchase of cycles for those that cannot afford Should improve infrastructure/traffic system on other roads (e.g. Dunlace, Blurton, Elderfield, Rushmore) Should improve/add more segregated cycle lanes (single side of road in both directions/use bus lanes at specific times/more protection) The verbatim text is below. The closing of Powell Road to all traffic at it’s northbound junction with Brooke Road will have an adverse impact on vehicular traffic and cyclists by adding to journey times and increasing the risk of collisions between traffic and cyclists. We used Google Maps to compare the journey times between Al Falah Primary School (Kenninghall Road) and The Mermaid (Clarence Road) with the journey expected to take 2 mins (0.3 miles). The proposed closure would divert traffic eastbound onto Lea Bridge Roundabout resulting in increased journey times by 1 min (and 0.2 miles) for each vehicle as a minimum. If traffic is diverted westbound, the journey would take an extra 6 mins having travelled 1 extra mile. The above journey times were taken for a Saturday morning average – not representing Peak Hours - which we anticipate would be even worse. Additionally, eastbound traffic will be affected as more traffic is being diverted to the roundabout from Chatsworth Road (see below) and increased waiting times at traffic lights. The net effect would be a gridlocked roundabout due to increased levels of traffic that have to navigate the roundabout from both Powell Road and Chatsworth Road. Powell Road is used to escape any traffic at the roundabout by travelling through Nightingale Road and Brooke Road. Traffic which chooses to divert westbound will have to contend with a circuitous journey bringing them into contact with cyclists along Downs Road. Parents whose children attend any number of the educational facilities along the Lea Bridge corridor would be particularly affected.

  • Appendix B Introduction 1. This Appendix Sets out How The
    Appendix B Introduction 1. This appendix sets out how the proposed warding scheme addresses the second and third of the Boundary Commission’s three statutory criteria for local government electoral reviews: the need to secure equality of representation; the need to reflect the identities and interests of local communities; and the need to secure effective and convenient local government. 2. Hackney’s diverse mix of people from different backgrounds gives it the third greatest degree of ethnic diversity, and the fifth greatest degree of religious diversity amongst local authorities in England and Wales. Ethnic and religious groups are widely dispersed across the borough. The one exception to this is the Orthodox Jewish/Charedi community in the Stamford Hill area, which is noticeably more concentrated than other groups. 3. Nearly three in five Hackney residents say they feel they belong either fairly or very strongly to their local neighbourhood (57%). This compares well to the London average of 52%. Many people feel they ‘belong’ in many different ways – to a small local area or estate, to one of Hackney’s distinctive sub-localities (source: Hackney Cohesion Review, published July 2010). 4. Our approach has been to seek to strengthen this identification with local areas through their reflection in the proposed warding arrangements, including retaining existing wards where possible, while correcting some known anomalies, for example where a small part of a housing estate falls in a different ward to the majority of the estate. 5. The fundamental problem that we have had to address is the imbalance between the south west of the borough and the north.

  • Eina 49 No 3 Time Travel by Brenton Doecke
    English in Australia7PMVNF/VNCFSt Time Travel (Knowing our history as English teachers) Brenton Doecke, Deakin University A review essay of Peter Medway, John Hardcastle, Georgina Brewis and David Crook, English Teachers in a Postwar Democracy: Emerging Choice in London Schools, 1945–1965, New York: Palgrave Macmillan ‘Only that historian will have the gift of fanning the spark of hope in the past who is firmly convinced that even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he wins.’ Walter Benjamin, Theses on the Philosophy of History, VI, in Walter Benjamin, Illuminations, ed. with an intro- duction by Hannah Arendt, trans Harry Zohn, London: Fontana, 1970/1973, p. 257. We all know how enriching it can be to revisit a novel, reflecting on the ways our interpreta- tion may have changed, leaving us with a completely different impression of the characters and scenes than those we remember when we first read the story. Such moments say just as much about one’s personal growth as they do about any qualities inherent within the novel. Charles Dickens’ Tale of Two Cities was the first ‘adult’ book I read as a child, a reading that was prompted by my viewing of the Ronald Colman film adaptation on day-time TV. The opening Time Travel and closing lines of the novel – ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … It is a far, far better thing that I do…’, etc. – were poetry to me. When I reread the novel a few years later, it was only to find in Sidney Carton a shadowy figure, whose choice to die on the guil- lotine was surely in protest at the dreary bourgeois world that was forming around him.
