Sadly Brent failed to be short-listed for the Mayor of London's 'mini-Holland' cycling funding despite a comprehensive bid out forward by the borough using many of the ideas provided by the Brent Cyclists Group.
The shortlisted boroughs (in alphabetical order) are Bexley, Ealing, Enfield, Kingston, Merton and Newham. Richmond and Waltham Forest are also shortlisted subject to addressing certain gaps in their initial proposals.
The three or four winners, to be announced early next year, will benefit from very high levels of spending concentrated on relatively small areas to make them, over time, into places every bit as cycle-friendly as their Dutch equivalents. The £100 million will be shared between them, though not necessarily equally.
Brent will still receive some funding but not at the level of the winning boroughs.

Oh Don't Worry Martin,
ReplyDeleteRemember That Brent is a neglected Borough and boris is just ensuring that that never changes!
Cheers Boris!
and while I'm at it I want to highlight a fact that despite the amount of money we pay in terms of council tax, our streets and pavements remain dirty and unkept and resemble one big ashtray and a new style dustbin in that people drop things on the pavements and in the streets and into the bushes despite knowing those things are meant for dustbins.
and even though that is becoming a major problem in wembley
as to be expected the council remains silent.
but if we decided to stop paying the council tax in protest against the pathetic and laughable return we get for our money
you can be sure the council would be falling over itself to find a way to force us to pay the tax.
but we are paying the tax and what we get in return is a insult in my opinion.
