A man holds a poster written with the help of his 8 year old daughter at the Die-In vigil and protest by Stop Killing Cyclists outside Kensington & Chelsea Town Hall after the killing by a HGV of a young 36 year old woman at Chelsea Bridge last week, the second cyclist killed by a HGV in the borough this year. Kensington & Chelsea is one of the worst London boroughs in opposing plans for protected cycle lanes, bus-stop cycle by-passes and 20mph speed limits and have failed to build even a single metre of protected cycle lane, forcing cyclists including children
London, UK. 12th October 2017. A man holds a poster written with the help of his 8 year old daughter at the Die-In vigil and protest by Stop Killing Cyclists outside Kensington & Chelsea Town Hall after the killing by a HGV of a young 36 year old woman at Chelsea Bridge last week, the second cyclist killed by a HGV in the borough this year. Kensington & Chelsea is one of the worst London boroughs in opposing plans for protected cycle lanes, bus-stop cycle by-passes and 20mph speed limits and have failed to build even a single metre of protected cycle lane, forcing cyclists including children and pensioners to share the roads with HGVs and buses. The protest demanded the council end its disgraceful opposition to safer cycling schemes, that TfL redesign the Chelsea Bridge junction where 36 accidents were reported last year to meet 'Go Dutch' standards and that the Transport minister introduce the long demanded regulations for safer HGV design, legislate urgently to get unsafe HGVs off our roads, and issue the commencement order allowing TfL to fine lorries and other vehicles that illegally drive into mandatory cycle lanes.
