Newham Cyclists’ Monthly Meeting took place on 28th September 2026, at Mother Kelly’s in the Olympic Park. Thanks to everyone who attended.
We reviewed the Councillor Infrastructure Safari and discussed what could be improved for a similar ride in the spring.
Jonathan presented a review of the ongoing infrastructure projects in the borough, covering Stratford High Street, Romford Road, CFR7 (including the Greenway diversion).
We agreed to discuss river crossings with LCC, after noticing the Silvertown cycle shuttle bus does not appear on Google Maps. This would be with a view to coordinate action to address the lack of step-free 24/7 river crossings.
We encouraged people to fill in the Newham kerbside survey, as it covers topics such as cycle parking (including in cycle hangars) and urban greening. Newham Cyclists will be submitting our own response and will be supporting the responses of our campaigning partners at Newham Living Streets and Better Streets Newham.
