Dagenham Heathway Upgrade

It's good to read in the Barking & Dagenham Post today (page 11) that work will start soon on doing up the Heathway. Everyone knows it needs it.

The changes are based, I belive, on work done by Living Streets, who recommend improving conditions for walking, cycling and public transport; Heathway has suffered from being designed too much around cars.

I would like to think that our audit of the road back in 2003 for the London Cycle Network (the so-called CRIM) would have been taken into account, but somehow I doubt it: Never mind, the Living Streets report was excellent and if half their recommendations are carried out it will be a massive improvement.
