Bring Liveable Streets to Barkantine – Act Now

Submitted by alex on 9 February 2020

Plans for the Barkantine Liveable Streets scheme are currently out for consultation, closing on Wednesday 19th February.

After carrying out site visits and discussions amongst committee members the consensus was that the proposals are very good, with only a small number of extra asks to make in order to improve this already very good plan further.

Island Gardens Pit Stop Cycles

Submitted by caroline on 13 August 2013

If you travel via Island Gardens you may have noticed a "pop up" cycle repair facility by the foot tunnel entrance. Glen (ex Bikeworks) started Pit Stop Cycles as an informal service to local cyclists and now wants to apply for a licence to formalise it. When I chatted to him he told me about the many people he has helped, and not just bicycles - he has assisted a motorised wheelchair and a few baby buggies too! The aim is to run the service as a social enterprise. He is located on a popular cycling route and often seems to be busy.

Meeting with Isle of Dogs Conservative councillors

Submitted by richard on 3 November 2011

As part of the "Movers and Shakers" campaign, Wheelers have met with Conservatives councillors at the Town Hall. Whilst none were current cyclists, the local politicians for the Isle of Dogs were very keen to help promote cycling across the borough.

Folding Bromptons were greeted with awe and wonder and pre- sented as one way to help the busy councillors keep up with their hectic schedule. Brompton Bicycle Limited may be able to help provide this campaign with loan bikes linked to cycle training.
