Hi there
At the end of November, Mike Fletcher, a Twickenam Cyclist and
campaigner for improving cycling conditions in London was killed by a
[/align]car exiting at spped from a industrial estate as he rode down the A4
off road cyclepath by Gillet Corner. This has been quite devastating for TCC and we
[/align] are campaigning for significant changes to be made by TFL to the A4
cycling infrastructure.
One of the councillors for Brentford where Mike lived has set up a
petition to get the cycle path improved
The A4 cyclepath, although in Hounslow, is maintained by TFL. This
means that although the council have indicated that they are very
supportive of significant improvements to the cycle path it is TFLs
decision over whether they chose to fund and implement it. TFL are
having conversations with Hounslow Council about the possibility
however we've been told it could require some lobbying and that help
from the cycling community would be grately appreciated
The paper petition has some 500 signitures. I asked Cllr Matt Harmer
if he could set up an online petition as it is easier to circulate:

I would be extremely grateful if you could sign the petition on the
hyperlink and send it to anyone else that you think would be
interested in signing, particularly any other cycling groups
Many thanks
