I hope you can follow the link below Cycling UK has drafted out two letters to send to your local councillors and the council leader on this very subject, if you feel like putting a bit of pressure on. The letters don't refer to the DfT instruction, but are amendable. Just put in your postcode and it finds your councillors and council leader. action.cyclinguk.org/page/59646/action/1?locale=en-GB

Didn’t know about this but I did exactly that at the weekend. Sent to 3 councillors & MP. Couple of fairly standard replies.. one along lines of ‘as you can understand we’ve had a lot of emails like this’.. which I guess is good!

I also wrote to my mp and local counsellors on the weekend - no reply yet though! While trolling (joke) on twitter lewisham cyclists provided a link to suggested changes in the borough. lewishamcovidtransport.commonplace.isIf people have a spare 5 mins and enjoy clicking buttons they can add their support to any plan. I have no idea how the plan translates to action but hopefully all in the right direction. Kath

Hi I had also been in touch with MP, Sadiq Khan & Southwark Highways. Southwark are having a consultation on changes. You can contribute here: southwarkstreetspace.commonplace.is/Not sure how different is from Jane's link

Seriously I have noticed how much better my breathing is of late-despite loads of covid 19 stress. Keeping car use down would be great.

I got a positive personal response from my local councillor, Ok I know her and she lives on the other side of the road but it was encouraging too see that someone actually takes notice of a template letter. Work is nearing completion on the northbound cycle lane on Park Lane. It has replaced one lane of traffic as has the COVID cycle lane on Kingston Bridge.
