Regarding our coverage of Khan's letter to Elizabeth Campbell this morning, the RBKC sent this to road.cc from Councillor Johnny Thalassites, Lead Member for Planning and Transport:

“We will respond to the letter in due course, but our response will be to ask Sadiq Khan to listen to residents and the council, don't bully them. Change the approach and once the red mist has settled he might see that our door is actually open for conversations on alternative schemes that might win local support and improve the streets of Kensington for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers.

Our full statement regarding the consultation is also online."

Khan's letter to Campbell was forceful to say the least, in which he wrote: "I would like to know how many more of your residents need to be maimed or killed by motor vehicles before you accept that this is a serious problem that requires solving. Doing nothing about the safety on your roads is not an option."

It's been called a "disgrace" and a "cynical political stunt" by London Cycling Commissioner Will Norman, and now London Mayor Sadiq Khan has sent a furious letter to the leader of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea leader Elizabeth Campbell over the group's refusal to support a proposed segregated cycle lane between Wood Lane and Notting Hill Gate. 

In the letter, shared by Ross Lydall of the Evening Standard on Twitter, Khan writes: "These plans were developed to deal with, among other problems, these roads being unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. There have been 128 collisions over the last three years alone in the Kensington and Chelsea section of the route... The vast majority of serious injuries have been to cyclists and pedestrians. Our plans would change this, making it easier to cross busy roads with 15 new pedestrian crossings, and a segregated space for people to cycle safely. 

"Eilidh Cairns was killed at Notting Hill Gate in 2009 and a ghost bike is still on the street marking her death. Had these proposals been in place at the time, it is extremely unlikely she would have been killed. I would like to know how many more of your residents need to be maimed or killed by motor vehicles before you accept that this is a serious problem that requires solving. Doing nothing about the safety on your roads is not an option."
