New cycle and pedestrian safety plan unveiled around busy London train station

Thursday 8 May 2025 09:20 , Nuray Bulbul

New ideas have been put out to improve the area around Tottenham Hale Station for bikes and walkers.

It follows earlier proposals for a footbridge that would have connected the station to Hale Village, which were accepted in 2014 but abandoned in 2019.

Alternative plans to remove a barrier separating bikers and pedestrians along Ferry Lane were put forth in 2023, but they were rejected in 2024 by council members who deemed it to be "very dangerous" and not a "suitable replacement" for the footbridge.

In a post on Monday, she revealed: “I just wanted to be transparent and I didn’t want the videos to just vanish, especially after I received so many sweet and kind messages about the video and the song and also just to warn any other artists if you’re filming videos on the Tube with your own song, they can take that down”.

'Supersize' SUV cars much more likely to cause fatal injury to cyclists and pedestrians

Tuesday 6 May 2025 12:20 , Nuray Bulbul

Sports utility vehicles (SUVs), which are "supersized" cars, have been found to have a 44 per cent higher fatality rate than regular cars when they collide with cyclists or pedestrians, according to London researchers.

Since children are 82 per cent more likely to die in an SUV collision than in a car accident, the risk is considerably higher for them. Children under ten had a 130 per cent increased chance of dying.

Because the supersized cars' front ends are probably taller and blunter, they pose a bigger risk to "vulnerable road users."

This implies that bicycles and pedestrians will be hit higher up on their bodies—for example, the head rather than the pelvis for a youngster, or the pelvis rather than the knees for an adult.

Bookshelves, which are frequently wooden shelves that are ad hocly placed in ticket halls, were taken down from the London Underground last month after the London Fire Brigade claimed that they violated safety regulations.

According to the 2009 Fire Precautions (Sub-surface Railway Stations) (England) Regulations, "any accumulation of combustible refuse or other combustible matter must be kept clear of all parts of station premises."
