Infrastructure
Jonathan shared a link to “News from the Streets”. Newham Council officers expect to have their infrastructure funding approved for next year and the full allocations will be published shortly.
Action: KF/JR to follow up with Redbridge to see if there is any action planned to improve safety on Central Road following the fatality there last year.
Action: KF/JR to contact Newham Council about the permaflood on CS2 next to Sugar House Lane.
Elections
Jonathan shared the LCC non-partisan approach to campaigning and the Streets for Cycling campaign aims, and our contacts with candidates. There was a lively discussion about engaging Newham residents in campaigning. It was agreed that other local groups should follow LCC advice and consider contacting candidates with their asks now, before manifestos are published. There are rides scheduled nearer to the election date. Other events could be added. Newham Cyclists will distribute flyers asking the recipient to write to candidates, and volunteers are required to help with this.
Action: KF/JR to get flyers, share flyering times and places (maybe FYR stall could be one start point)
Action: KF to share WhatsApp link in newsletter
