Sven Segal from FoE and Abigail (Abi) Mortimer from Greenpeace will join us in a discussion panel on the topic:

This will be held at the Sidings Community Centre, 150 Brassey Road, NW6 2BA. We have arranged for two members of the Police to address us about policing cycling in the area, coving issues including traffic law enforcement and cycle theft.
We are also hoping to be joined by local Ward Councillors to discuss local cycling issues.
Bike Hangars!
Parking bicycles out of the weather and away from thieving hands has always been difficult for those who live in flats. After a lengthy campaign, we now have a secure, weatherproof bike hangar on College Place.
