The Central London Grid proposal from TfL is out to consultation until Feb 14th. They want “general comments”. There will be further consultation at Borough level when final designs are developed. Southwark Cyclists will take part in the LCC discussions. But it is also intersting at this stage to look at the Southwark part of the grid. In order to get a feel for it, it is worth looking in detail even at this stage. I have produced a relatively small sized version of the published map and aded a few bits (see below). In addition I have gone over the grid road by road and commented on the potential problems in the word document linked below. At the moment we cannot develop a discussion forum on this site. However, the Yahoo group and our Facebook page are available. I would also be happy to receive e-mail comments (b.lynn@ucl.ac.uk), and also reports on some of the crossings that are not familiar to me and which I have highlighted.

Yet another serious crash on the A205, following the crash a few days ago (where residents have started a petition for a zebra crossing).
Nearby there is also new damage to the railings at the jct with College Rd.
Speeding and mobile phone use is rife on the South Circular.
Congratulations @cyclinginsutton on receiving the ‘Green Shoots Award’ this evening at the @London_Cycling AGM and Awards Ceremony!
(Also kudos to @southwarkcycle (along with @GreenwichCycle @lewicyclists) as joint winners of the ‘Excellent Event Award’).
Southwark Cyclists is the leading organisation that promotes and supports cycling and cyclists in Southwark. We are a very active and diverse group of people who believe that cycling as transport has not yet been fully realised so we are working with Southwark Council and our communities to promote cycling, improve safety and ensure all new developments consider cyclists' needs
