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

British Waterways is having good discussions with Islington Council, Islington Living Streets, Islington Cyclists Action Group, the Friends of Regents Canal, Hanover Primary School, TfL and others to promote safer and more attractive east-west cycling routes on borough roads for cyclists looking for quick routes, to help relieve congestion along the Regents Canal towpath where pedestrians have priority. @TowpathRanger

Ben Kinsella, 16, the younger brother of actress Brooke Kinsella, 24, died after being knifed in York Way shortly after 2am on Sunday. Police are now investigating whether Ben was involved in an argument with a group of men in the street after he came out of Shillibeers pub that night. After the assault, Ben was taken to The Whittington Hospital in Magdala Avenue, Archway - but could not be saved. The killing comes on the anniversary of the fatal stabbing of another Islington teenager, 14-year-old Martin Dinnegan, who was knifed to death in Holloway on June 26 last year.

The killers of Ben Kinsella were gangster wannabes * * By Ryan Parry 12/06/2009 (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) As members of the Market Massiv' gang, Michael Alleyne, Jade Braithwaite and Juress Kika demanded respect and loyalty. They fancied themselves as gangsters but in reality they were drugdealing cowards, armed with guns and knives, who needed ferocious Staffordshire bull terriers for protection. After gang leader Alleyne, his deputy Braithwaite and the lowly Kika were convicted of Ben Kinsella's murder, a source close to the group - too scared to reveal his identity - broke ranks to speak to the Mirror. He said: "They thought they were real bad boys walking round with their Staffs and a knife in their pocket. Mikey (Alleyne) had two Staffs and thought he was untouchable. This was his manor, no one could come down here and f*** with it. "They worked in twos for protection and they...
