I was out this afternoon at the junction of Tollington Road and Hornsey Road, where Transport for London have promised to improve the pedestrian crossing, following our campaign last year. Whilst discussing how dangerous the crossing currently is, we witnessed a cyclist being knocked from his bike as a car swang round the corner.
Fortunately the cyclist was uninjured, but it did emphasise not just how dangerous the crossing is, but also the dangers caused by the gyratory system which has turned Tollington Road into a racetrack. The works on the pedestrian crossing can't start soon enough. And our long-running campaign to restore Tollington Road to two-way working will need to step up a gear once the election is over.
