MP had been very encouraged by the meeting with LBH on 21.2.13. He will chase up on Pledge. MP said the HGV discussion was in the context of a meeting covering a wide range of cycling issues and AC thought it would be good if HCC could attend on a regular basis.

Deadline is 25th March. AG has some good “cycling in Haringey” photos. MP said it will be good to have the HGV event ahead of the deadline and write it up. AC would write something on the Haringey School Cycling League.

MP outlined the brief for this. MP will scan documents and copy to AG and AC. He thought it would be useful if it produced a handbook of good practice aimed to achieve the objectives.

MP will respond.

MP will continue our input to guidance on cycle shelter design and will express HCC support for a change in permitted development rules in the next round of government consultation. Post meeting note: There is a strong view in responses on the newsgroup that permission should not be needed for front garden shelters.

It was agreed we should accept this years funding but spend more on attracting participation e.g in family rides with a float for teas at end of ride. We will order a banner. It can be in PVC logo on white and possibly with plain green side valances for use at tables.

The consultants report is not yet available.

School events – HCC could offer Dr Bike and LCC stall. SC said we need to talk to PTA’s. AG will write up for newsletter.

AC and MP had not heard from Toni Mallett re meeting with Nilgun Canver about HGV pledge and MP has suggested LBH fleet manager, who was due to attend meeting with TfL be asked to attend. LBH is rated 2 out of 5 by LCC. Post meeting note, following email from AC, MP attended a meeting with Cllrs Canver and Mallett and LBH officers and the outcome has been very positive. MP confirmed path from St Michael’s Terrace to Bounds Green Rd is being widened and resurfaced. MP has received positive letter from TfL on Tottenham Hale, confirming CS1 alignment has been allowed for.

MP and AC attended a CRIM ride with LBH officers, consultants and Cllr Toni Mallett to inspect. MP tabled the draft route. MP would share with consultants the comments from the local group meeting supporting the Western Road alignment.

No developments to report. Post meeting note, it is understood from Tony Kennedy at LBH some funding will be used for the informal pedestrian/cycle crossing at the Greenway 4 crossing of Park Rd. Safety improvements at the Hornsey High St/ Hornsey Lane turning will be funded by section 106 money from the Hornsey depot development. This work will follow work on the railway bridge.

MP will talk to other groups when current Ealing/Haringey local discussions on guidance become public.

Timing was confirmed. GNRT can serve pancakes.

MP said it appeared to be current policy to send out standard letters disclaiming responsibility.

It was agreed HCC should organise rides, as previously family rides were very popular.

AG said HCC has been asked to fill in form on group resources. AG will forward. MP reported on the recent Transport Forum, including “Go Dutch” presentation by Gerhard Weiss from LCC, which was well received and TfL pedestrian crossing timings at Bounds Green Rd, presented by TfL as a case study. It was hoped the 72 second max wait time at the Toucan crossing can be reduced.
