The long and short is that there are a bunch of junctions around Holborn where 7 cyclists have been killed since 2008 and we want action. Most recently, Marta Krawiec was killed on August 4.
Please turn up and help make the case for making our roads safe to cycle on.

If you can put questions about it in that specific events page it'd be appreciated so we can track them more easily.
Following the horrific and needless death of Dr Marta Krawiec at Holborn, LCC will be riding to the junction where she was killed, along a route featuring several of London’s other deadly junctions, also left for years without appropriate safety interventions. Please join us on 8 September at Silk Street, meeting at 5:30 PM riding out at 6:00 PM, to demand an end to delays over action on junctions known to be dangerous, even lethal, for years.
Hope some of you can join us there, or can help publicise it to build a big turnout and put the dangerous London junctions on the agenda.
Best

Hi everyone,
There's a strong chance you'll be aware of the awful death of Marta Krawiec earlier this month on a junction in Holborn, on Theobolds Street and Southampton Row.
Marta is the 7th person to be killed on the Holborn Gyratory since 2008 and we are sick of protesting this injustice.We're asking you to turn up with yourself, and as many others as you can find, to make it clear that this is intolerable on a protest ride which will convene at Silk Street, opposite the Barbican Entrance, from 5:30PM leaving at 6:00 PM. Our route which will be stewarded by volunteers will incorporate several of these known dangerously badly designed junctions.
If you're a FB user you can register for the ride and share it with your friends here https://www.facebook.com/events/196066622513561
Your support with getting this protest out there and mobilising as many people as you can would be deeply appreciated. It would also be really helpful to have your name on our open petition to the Mayor, TFL and London Councils but of the two the protest is by far the most important.
Photos are from our last protest in 2018 which shockingly was on the same issue and in the same place. Campaigners have protested on a 'die-in' basis last Friday, which helped gain a statement from TFL and Camden Council, but we want to build as big a turnout as possible so that this issue is firmly on the public agenda.
Any questions please stick them here and we'll do our best to respond.

Our full write up.
https://www.lcc.org.uk/news/100m-for-active-travel-in-dft-tfl-deal-until-december/Long and short is; good news overall. Money is now in the bank for big and bold changes. Now we need big action from TFL and crucially London's Councils in spending it wisely (and swiftly) to enable mass cycling in time for summer, which is a crucial season for the hospitality and culture sector. We need bums on seats across town and the more people getting around by cycle the better.
