A13-Blackwall Tunnel Approach

Submitted by bob on 16 February 2012

TfL has recently introduced changes to the A13/Blackwall Tunnel Approach.

The change involves adding a new pedestrian crossing to connect the Aberfeldy Housing Estate to East India Dock DLR station; and the removal of the bus lane on the A13 East India Dock Road. The excuse given for this is that the new pedestrian crossing would cause additional delays to traffic on the A13, so ways were sought to mitigate any increase in traffic journey times.

Comment: May the Wheelers first Vigil also be the last

Submitted by robl on 19 November 2011

Firstly, I would like to thank everybody involved in organising and spreading the word about the Candlelit Vigil at Bow Roundabout, I saw a lot of planning and organisation at very short notice, and with care and sensitivity.

Secondly, thanks everyone who attended, and those who spoke, and pledged their support in whatever way, in making sure this never happens again. In my mind, it was a very moving and necessary thing to do.
