Axe Street Cycle Lane

I'm pleased to report a small but welcome campaigning victory. Axe Street, Barking was made one way in the 1970s. A few years ago, the one way restriction was partly lifted to make things easier for construction traffic for the many new buildings in or near the street. A few weeks ago, I objected to a plan to re-introduce 1 way working, saying that one way streets are against the council's policy of promoting cycling. As a result the council has offered to install a cycle lane to allow cycling in the opposite direction to the general traffic flow.
