. @jonburkeUK will soon submit an #EmergencyTravelPlan. We would like to see a bold plan & a range of different interventions, enabling more people of all ages & abilities to travel on foot or by cycle around #Hackney, so that ppl unable to use public transport have options. 3/6
Joining us, @NHSHomerton & @NHSBartsHealth + Central Government are calling for immediate action to enable more cycling & walking.
We would like to see:
ยท new low traffic neighbourhoods throughout #Hackney
ยท protected space (cycle tracks) & widened footways on main roads. 4/6
๐Ÿ“ข We're urging #Hackney councillors to support an Emergency Travel Plan with protected space for cycling & #LowTafficNeighbourhoods.
