Tower Hamlets Wheelers have been invited by the public consulation facilitators for the Wood Wharf redevelopment onto the community stakeholders forum. Wood Wharf is an area on the Isle of Dogs to the east of Canary Wharf off Preston's Road.

Local LCC member Mark Lomas has been active on the development proposals, arguing for space for sustainable transport initiatives and maximising shared space for pedestrians and cyclists. THW committee members visited the consultation event at Canary Wharf on 8 December to add our name to those opinions.

This development, amongst others, adds to the debate about access to and through the Isle of Dogs for cyclists, which could be substantially improved.

If you are an LCC member living and/or working on the Isle of Dogs and could be involved in activities such as surveying routes and lobbying councillors then please get in touch with David Allison (dave@towerhamletswheelers.org.uk).
