Croydon Cyclists

Croydon Cyclists Notes of January 2015 meeting Consultations - Crystal Palace Parade - various members have fed into this scheme being run by Southwark and TfL - could be good, if they heed cyclists' comments. Southwark's consultation scheme looks like a model which Croydon could follow; Kristian has forwarded details on to Cllr Kathy Bee and Carole Crankshaw. We need to get geared up on future consultation exercises in Croydon, galvanising our local membership to become active. Kristian to contact Amy to get things ready and ask for latest Croydon LCC membership database with view to having list of key contacts, not just "cyclists". Cycling Strategy - Kristian, Angus and Jim attended the first meeting with the Council, nobody could make the second, a third might be held. More work before release for public consultation. Quietways - Council awaiting details from TfL on the last 3 of 4, to Sutton, Crystal Palace and Greenwich (the first one goes to Waterloo - consultation due soon) and chasing up Sustrans on how they will deliver the routes. Cycling in parks - could be legalised; councillors to be briefed. Frith Street and High Street cycling contraflows - could be in as early as March. Watch this space North End contraflow - being reviewed by councillors at the Traffic Management Cabinet Committee Freedom of Information request - Austen awaiting a response from Croydon Council about cycle safety and tramlines - see here Bike Croydon - Kristian to fix a meeting with Marco to see how we can work together Violet Lane - proposed contraflow - Austen to chase Andrew Pelling about this. Mitcham Common cycle lane - need to get hold of this issue and rekindle discussions on this with Merton and Sutton LCC, and then hold meetings with us and Robert Francis of Merton Council and Carole Crankshaw of Croydon. The design should reflect the London Cycle Design Standards. It seems McDonalds have been given planning permission to build a drive-thru' at the Croydon end. Austen and Chas to fix meeting with Charles Barraball via Doodle, and contact Robert Nicholas of Merton council and Carole Crankshaw to take forward. Sutton Council "Cycling workshop" - Monday 2 February evening - Chas meeting councillors there about Space for Cycling ward asks for that borough - Chas to circulate details once received.    
