Yes I'm on a bus, I gave up cycling Hackney to Plaistow at the beginning of the year despite it being my most regular route, I can't rely on the Greenway being open or diversions being safe. It now takes twice as long and involves a train and a bus. In good news I'm reading books again.

Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL.
Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval.
This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated.

He’ll raise them to 25% in June.
