Dear John, I hope you are doing well. In this week’s Friday Post we have: Local Group Forum on Thursday 100m for cycling and walking in DfT-TfL deal Micromobility parking Introducing Katy – network coordinator London cycle infrastructure through time Guidance LCC website map Local Group Forum with Will Norman A reminder the Local Group Forum is this Thursday and Will Norman will be joining us. The discussion with Will Norman will take up most of the meeting and we will begin with that. He will be talking about what local groups can do to support walking and cycling in their area and listening to you about the issues that you face so do come prepared with questions and items you want to raise with him. After the conversation with Will, the other items on the agenda are: Introduction to Suami (for those who haven’t met him) and Climate Champions Introduction to Katy, our network coordinator Micromobility parking report alert **Please do share details of the Local Group Forum with other group members who are not on the Friday Post.** A reminder that the meeting will not be recorded.

As far as I know, LCC don't take minutes or record the Local Group Forum meetings.

Regarding painted lanes etc, almost all recent cycle infrastructure on busy roads consists of segregated lanes, installed either by TfL (on their roads) or local councils.  And LTNs create quiet neighbourhoods where specific infrastructure is not needed. Camden has been very active and there is a good summary of what they have been doing on our website here with specific reference to segregated routes here

Other boroughs, notoriously Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster, have failed to provide for cycling or have used painted lanes. K&C have even removed the segregated lane they put in with TfL funding. TfL will not fund sub-standard facilities and are looking to claw back the money that councils took if they then remove the facility. So pressure really needs to be on the boroughs, rather than TfL.

There's a really good graphic showing the growth of segregated lanes in London but I can't put my finger on it - anyone?
