Seems like Khan and Rahman are at loggerheads now.
£1m funding is crap compared to the crazy amounts they are spending on these road schemes, I cannot believe we are spending £100m on these pathetic shi##y schemes for such a very small area.
>>>The projects that will receive funding from next month include Camden council’s plans to revamp the Holborn gyratory, where eight cyclists have been killed since 2008. TfL announced last October that it would allocate £69 million in “local implementation plan” funding to the boroughs.
Monday’s announcement indicates how £63 million of that total will be spent.
The remainder of the cash is expected to be allocated by next March, including to Croydon, where a delay has been caused by the council going bankrupt.
The bulk of it — £39 million — will be spent in outer London, including on more than 90 bus priority schemes. TfL says this will reduce bus delays at a time the expansion of the ultra-low emission zone could increase demand for public transport.<<<<
This to me just sounds idiotic. I mean how the hell can you speed bus services up if you put the road down to 20mph, and the bus lanes then become cycle lanes. I am honestly struggling to see any route where I can say the service has been sped up. Even routes that had service cuts, have struggled to make performance figures or having buses run to time, or even early; unless school is on holiday in the morning peak.
Tower Hamlets stripped of £1m funding amid pro-car agenda
A London borough whose mayor is pursuing a pro-car agenda has been stripped of more than £1 million in transport funding — and faces losing a similar amount next year.
