Message from Boris Johnson, Mayor of London:

The timetable for completing the LCN+ was set out by my predecessor. My view is that as the final parts of the network increasingly require expensive and unpopular traffic schemes efforts should be focused on my new direction, as I have set out in “Way To Go!”,  towards more integrated and targeted interventions to make cycling safer, easier and more appealing. These include Cycle Highways along with bike hire and cycle hubs as the best way to grow and develop cycling in the Capital.  Details of LCN+ proposals are held by the relevant highway authorities and they may wish to consider opportunities to incorporate these in other funded programmes and developments. I have set out my ambitions for Cycle Highways targeted at commuting trips in “Way to Go!” . Amongst other things, this work will look to integrate the LCN+ programme with that for the Cycle Highways to make the best use of current and future resources. I want to see nothing less than a cycle revolution and have set out how this is to be achieved in “Way to Go!”.
