    Annex 2 Chairman, Policy & Resources Committee Mark Boleat Mr Leon Daniels Managing Director, Surface Transport Transport for London Email [email protected] Palestra 197 Blackfriars Road London Date SE1 8NJ Dear Mr Daniels North-South and East-West Cycle Superhighways As you may know, the City Corporation has requested further information on the proposals and the potential impacts which may affect the City of London and further afield. We have also requested for an extension to the consultation deadline so that our officers can review that information and inform us, the elected Members, accordingly. I note that your officers are giving this some consideration, however, as it currently stands, we must work to the current deadline of the 9th November 2014 so this letter sets out the City Corporation’s formal response to the public consultation. The City’s Response The City of London Corporation fully supports proposals to improve road safety and to provide better facilities to reflect a changing environment. We also support proposals for sustainable transport, measures to reduce pollution, improve public transport and the built environment. Whilst we agree and support the principle of the Cycle Superhighways, we have considerable reservations about them as they currently stand. We are particularly concerned about potential adverse impacts on road safety (particularly to other vulnerable road users), pedestrian convenience, local access, network resilience and the knock-on impacts to the City’s highway. In light of the above and in response to your consultation I therefore submit our concerns to the N- S and E-W Superhighway proposals and request that you consider and adequately respond to the 13 points detailed below:- 1.

  • Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London
    Prisons and Punishments in Late Medieval London Christine Winter Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of London Royal Holloway, University of London, 2012 2 Declaration I, Christine Winter, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 Abstract In the history of crime and punishment the prisons of medieval London have generally been overlooked. This may have been because none of the prison records have survived for this period, yet there is enough information in civic and royal documents, and through archaeological evidence, to allow a reassessment of London’s prisons in the later middle ages. This thesis begins with an analysis of the purpose of imprisonment, which was not merely custodial and was undoubtedly punitive in the medieval period. Having established that incarceration was employed for a variety of purposes the physicality of prison buildings and the conditions in which prisoners were kept are considered. This research suggests that the periodic complaints that London’s medieval prisons, particularly Newgate, were ‘foul’ with ‘noxious air’ were the result of external, rather than internal, factors. Using both civic and royal sources the management of prisons and the abuses inflicted by some keepers have been analysed. This has revealed that there were very few differences in the way civic and royal prisons were administered; however, there were distinct advantages to being either the keeper or a prisoner of the Fleet prison. Because incarceration was not the only penalty available in the enforcement of law and order, this thesis also considers the offences that constituted a misdemeanour and the various punishments employed by the authorities.

  • Ludgate Circus – Objections to the Experimental Banned Left Turn from Ludgate Hill Into New Bridge Street
    Committee(s) Dated: Streets & Walkways Sub 1 December 2020 Subject: Public Ludgate Circus – Objections to the Experimental Banned Left Turn from Ludgate Hill into New Bridge Street Which outcomes in the City Corporation’s Corporate 1c, 9d Plan does this proposal aim to impact directly? Does this proposal require extra revenue and/or N capital spending? If so, how much? £ N/A What is the source of Funding? N/A Has this Funding Source been agreed with the N/A Chamberlain’s Department? Report of: For Decision Director of the Built Environment Report author: Gerry Lightfoot Summary Pedestrians wishing to cross New Bridge Street at the Ludgate Circus junction have a long wait for the ‘green man’ phase. This has led to safety concerns concerning crowding on the footway and may have increased the number of pedestrians crossing informally or during the ‘red man’ phase. In May 2019, Transport for London (TfL) made a presentation to the Planning & Transportation Committee on their scheme to address the safety concerns. Following detailed design by TfL, the City Corporation introduced an Experimental Traffic Order (ETO) that introduced a ‘no left turn’ restriction on all traffic turning left from Ludgate Hill into New Bridge Street in December 2019. The purpose of the restriction was to allow TfL to amend the traffic signals so that more time for pedestrians crossing New Bridge Street could be introduced. Since the scheme has been implemented in December 2019, there have been no collisions or incidents reported involving pedestrians or other road users as a result of this change.
