Whilst we were at the festival we spent some time collecting more signatures for our particularly popular petition on Canal towpath safety for all, which we started at the Canal Festival earlier in the month. The petition calls on the Council to work with TFL, Hackney, and the CRT to deliver cycle calming measures on the towpath and safer alternative routes for cyclists in a hurry. The aim is to try and re-balance towpath use in favour of leisure and recreational users, rather than commuters and speed trainers.
