Dear Tom, I am writing to you on behalf of Croydon Cycling Campaign, the local branch of the London Cycling Campaign, (which is the world’s largest urban cycling group and the voice of over 11,000 people who cycle in the capital). We welcome the plans for toucan crossings to be put on Wellesley Road at its junctions with Bedford Park Road and Lansdowne Road. This is a positive move, both for cyclists and pedestrians, and its achievement through the removal of the subways is something that we hope to see replicated elsewhere in the borough. […]

However, Croydon could miss out on all this. These projects will not be […]](https://croydoncyclists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Victoria+Embankment+cycle+lane+proposal1.jpg "The Most Important Opportunity For Croydon In A Generation")
![Croydon North will shortly elect a new MP. Croydon North is considered to be a safe labour seat, so when we decided to ask candidates questions, we included the short list of Labour candidates who Labour will be selecting from to run in the by-election. There’s a fantastic opportunity for Croydon North to secure an MP who really understands the need for liveable streets and the key role that cycling plays in such a vision. [UPDATE] Labour have now chosen their candidate to stand for election in Croydon North. They will be represented by current […]](https://croydoncyclists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Croydon-North-2010-result1-115x115.png "Croydon North By-Election – Question to Candidates")
![In my previous post I discussed some councillors who had raised objections to cycling exceptions on one-way streets, in spite of this having worked so effectively in other boroughs and the City of London now opening up 34 roads to contraflow cycling or two-way operation. I also highlighted one particular councillor who not only objected but gave quite a speech, in which he showed his disdain for those who ride bikes, rejecting best practice because ‘if it works in other boroughs it isn’t necessarily right for Croydon’ without giving any reason why Croydon might be […]](https://croydoncyclists.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/MikeFisherAdamKellett.bmp "Naming and Shaming"){kind=small}
