^ Nickie on a site visit with TfL officials to make the case for them to rethink their plans for New Street, City of London
Two Cities MP, Nickie Aiken, is delighted that Transport for London (TfL) has listened to her calls following her campaign alongside local people to make changes to the A10 Bishopsgate corridor scheme.
After TfL introduced the Bishopsgate corridor scheme during the pandemic, local people living on New Street were cut off with no vehicle access to their road during the day. This had a dire impact on the disabled and those less able to walk and meant everyday activities such as receiving deliveries or bringing home heavy or large goods were impossible during enforcement hours of 08:00 until 19:00.
Listening to local people, and working with the Tapestry Building Residents’ Association, Nickie made the case with TfL to rethink their plans, including a site visit with officials and she met directly with the Deputy Mayor for Transport Seb Dance, as well as the Mayor's Walking and Cycling Commissioner Will Norman.
Nickie is delighted TfL has listened. Access to New Street will now be permitted, allowing local people can go about their daily lives.
