There is a FoI release on the Holland Park roundabout scheme which is very embarrassing reading for the antis.
Here is one excerpt where TfL completely trash the independent modelling that the SoS campaign commissioned at great expense and trumpeted endlessly in their campaign

Similar to RBKC conservative cllr in charge of cycling saying his proudest moment was stopping a cycle route. Depressing you’re stuck in some sort of anti-evidence car-brained ideological nonsense - and the levels of competence that saw Shithill as your grand scheme

Sick new cycle lanes emerging on Shaftesbury Avenue.
Loving the gradual reallocation of road space to cyclists and away from cabbies in the West End 👍

Knock me down with a feather @willnorman
Another 5 years of nothing in Westminster added to the ongoing 40 years of nothing in RBKC

1/ We've obtained 2025 data from @TfL @VivacityLabs traffic survey cameras on Chiswick High Rd. Spoiler alert - the numbers of people cycling continues to grow! @LBofHounslow @KatherineDunne @Shansview @WillNorman

Westminster council announcing a huge plan for the West End - includes pedestrianising the bottom end of Regent Street, Coventry Street, and another arm of Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus rebuild plus cycle lanes up Regent Street, and quite a bit more futureofregentstreet.commonp…

Breaking ground on London’s newest Cycleway - C34 from Wood Lane to Shepherd’s Bush Green (and then planned to go across Holland Park Roundabout).
We’ve expanded London’s Cycleway network to over 400km & the no. of daily journeys has grown to over 1.3m 🚲🚲

A school in Hammersmith has had to take matters into its own hands to block a road outside the school gates after an elderly gentleman was knocked over by a reversing van in front of children this week.
Ravenscourt Av. The school has lobbied for a school street for years.

The City of London is experiencing the Copenhagen effect.
Reallocate road space away from motor vehicles (Bishopsgate, Bank, Lime St, numerous modal filters, one ways with cycle counter flows) and you get meaningful modal shift.
A wake up call for the rest of London

Thanks - we’re not on twitter much these days but happy to have a friendly exchange like this ! It is indeed a little insane (with alas some real life consequences - Christina Kong was killed on a part of the route that was delayed because of @rbkc actions)

A weird thing happened after Hammersmith Bridge was closed to vehicles — the traffic count on the neighbouring bridges (Kew, Putney, Chiswick) actually FELL.
As a result, reopening the bridge to motor vehicles will never happen.
Meanwhile, rejoicing:

30 months since the launch of the latest iteration of a Notting shill Gate action plan (3rd one in 40 years!)…….zero delivery, zero updates…except council leadership have vetoed any form of cycle lane @josephpowell @willnorman

Just seen this drawing of the new Holland Park Roundabout. THANK GOD someone is at last taking seriously the safety of vulnerable road users. Having a Grand Prix here every day is ridiculous. I'm speaking as one who uses it constantly, and it's a huge barrier to happy commuting.

Interesting evening at the @japanhouseldn hearing about all the good work done by @Opp_Kensington to revitalise Ken High Street and about residents feedback that it is a 'motorway with shops around'. Doesn't sound like @RBKC 's invisible cycle lane made any impact then 🤨!!
MJ retweeted
High St Ken… unlike @rbkc we actually asked the businesses on the High St whether they were happy to have a 🚲 lane there - virtually all said “yes”. Pathetic from @rbkc who also won’t divulge the @Opp_Kensington report on @rbkc farce on High St Ken @CllrCatherineF

Question:
“Why do you and @MikeyCycling report drivers for using their phones at the wheel?”

👇 on transport to Olympia - when re-opening a vast venue with huge transport needs. It is utter madness that @rbkc block a safe 🚲 route to it, that would provide cheap, space efficient, healthy and sustainable transport. Please help @TfL @MayorofLondon @willnorman @LouHaigh
