I've lived in Walthamstow for a number of years, I cycle through and make use of the infrastructure every day but had never seen the people behind it, so thanks for sharing this video.
Walthamstow has a mass murderer supporter as an MP and hence all its problems.
It would be awesome to see this approach spread across the country. This shows it is possible
A superb video, and you must be so very proud of your father. He's a great advocate.
I live in the borough & am so thankful to have it here! It's so freeing to be able to get to green spaces like Epping Forest safely or seeing kids grinning with smiles when their parents are taking them in a bike trailer.
This borough is the leader in London for active travel. All other boroughs should follow suit really! Well done to all WF officers and people involved, amazing.
Well done Chris and team, you have done a great job. Let common sense, logic and transport intelligence rule. I know a lot about this as I lived in Dalston in the 1980s when there was NO cycle infrastructure. If you rode a bike in those areas back then you really were on the fringe!
Great vid - makes me want to move there!
I live in Waltham Forest.
The scheme has been a game- changer. Everyone including children can walk or cycle across the borough in relative safety, which was impossible before.
The scheme has liberated streets and made them pleasurable to walk or cycle. Waltham Forest's quality of living has gone up massively. I'd much rather live here than all the other car-dominated London boroughs.
Good informative vid as always Josh, well done sir.
well done!!!!!!
I cycle around LBWF daily and it has improved greatly however a big drawback is bike theft and a lack of interest by police in solving the issue.
Very nice 👍
Great video and great achievement by all involved, and what we need to see replicated throughout the UK - the only thing I would highlight is that the 100 million pound funding again suggests a massive imbalance in terms of the funding London gets versus the rest of the UK, its not proportionate to many other areas of the UK who per capita do not receive anywhere near the same level of funding for such projects, this is a real failure of government ( but no surprise there ) and policy.
Agree with you totally. This is the kind of thing that should, but will never happen north of the M25.
Are there secure bicycle storage (maybe for a fee) to park my bike if I visit and do my shopping there?
come on you chris boardman
Pity I don't live in London but sheffield 😅😅
Bike town!
A model for deploying safe streets everywhere, the gradual approach does not work, this should now be rolled out to all zone 3-6 boroughs in London and across all UK cities.
Active travel is not just for kids, us adults can keep cycling later in life too thanks to drivers being kept separate.
There's no point in these towns if the government imports millions of people from overseas whilst at the same time not supporting our own people to have kids. Very few people can afford to live there and the increase in traffic negates any benefits. We need political change - not the Labour party - to get real change.
What has you comment got to do with cycling. If millions of people are imported from overseas they get to cycle if they live in Waltham Forest.
