There has been a welcome announcement recently that more than 50 junctions across London will see improvements for cyclists over the next 18 months.    
 However, the need for even further steps to be taken to make London’s roads safer for cycling has been confirmed by the recent death of the ninth cyclist already this year.  Regrettably such a high number of deaths suggests that the number of cyclists killed on London’s roads by the end of the year might even exceed the toll of 16 deaths last year – which was an increase from 10 deaths in 2010.
 
The London Assembly transport committee, chaired by GLA member Caroline Pidgeon, has now started its inquiry into further solutions to make London’s roads safer and is keen to hear the views of as many people as possible. 

For details of the inquiry and how to take part, see the London Assembly website which includes a short video featuring Caroline.
