Tragic death of cyclist on Homerton High Street

It's tragic that yet another cyclist has died on a stretch of road where residents and ward councillors have been campaigning to get an improved junction with Brooksby’s Walk, Barnabas Road and Homerton High Street.

I have written to Transport for London, who are responsible for this road, to urge them to speed up their proposed study of the area, and provide facilities which bring about a significant increase in safety for everyone, particularly pedestrians and cyclists.

I am a cyclist myself and campaign for safer facilities for cyclists across the constituency.

For too long this particular road has been allowed to be a danger for local people. I hope this is the last time I have to raise concerns about this stretch of road.
