Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy

Dear Consultation on Islington's draft Transport Strategy,

I am very concerned at the lack of ambition in this, in particular there should be more to support cyclists.

There should be a Target for commutes by cycle.

There should be a commitment to reduce air pollution.

Speed is a killer on Islington roads, the 20mph speed restriction should be enforced more.

There aren't enough secure places to lock up bikes, particulary at tube stations like Cally Road.

We could also benefit from more Tfl hire bikes, particulary at hubs and parks, like Caledonian Park with the Tennis Centre and football pitches.

As a Holloway resident, both holloway and seven sisters roads are nightmares.

There needs to be more bike lanes.

There is so much more that could be done to encourage, support and make cycling safer

Indeed none of us knows for sure that he took any at all. What we do know, however, is that what Mr Adams did take was a very great deal of pride and satisfaction in the fact that, until last week, his name and photograph were rarely, if ever, to be found in their pages. Not that he isn't a vain man, one for whom reputation, respect and standing matter little. Quite the contrary. Adams is very proud of his notoriety among his local, north London community: what he has spent a lifetime avoiding is public recognition. No longer. This morning, Adams, the godfather behind a £200 million business built on murder, drugs and money-laundering, whose catch-phrase is "give him a slap", will wake up in Belmarsh, south London's high security prison, after admitting a five-year conspiracy to hide £1 million. While he was handed a 14-y...
