Please join us on Thursday 7th of September to send a loud, clear message to Transport for London, Kensington & Chelsea and Wandsworth councils – Battersea Bridge must be made safe for cycling now.
Assemble: 6pm, south side of bridge – In Town Statue, 1 Battersea Bridge, SW11 3TP
Tragically, on 10th August, a 27-year-old woman was killed while cycling across Battersea Bridge. Last year, another woman lost her leg cycling at the north end of the bridge. On average, there’s a serious or fatal collision involving someone cycling on this bridge every year.
These deaths and serious injuries could have been avoided. Weak schemes have been proposed, but nothing has been delivered, and the bridge remains deadly. Join us on Thursday to demand urgent action from Transport for London, Kensington & Chelsea and Wandsworth councils.
This ride will be short – please turn up on time and wear muted clothing for the ride, homemade placards welcome – our slogans are “Make Battersea Bridge Safe For Cycling” and “Fix Battersea Bridge”.
