Following the tragic death of a young man killed while cycling through the junction of Stratford High Street and Carpenters Road on 13 January 2025, LCC will hold a protest ride on Monday, 24th February in Stratford. We’ll be calling on TfL and Newham Council to work together to rapidly improve the junctions along this route so that no one has to risk their life cycling through here.
Please join us to put real pressure on TfL and Newham Council and gather at 6:15pm on the Greenway just north of Stratford High Street. The protest ride will set out at 6.30pm.
**Please REGISTER if you are planning to attend so we can ensure we have enough ride marshals**
What happened ? I used to ride though there very morning and the only problem I encountered was other cyclists jumping the red lights.
Hi,
As we’ve seen with cyclist deaths in Havering, it is difficult to find out the exact details of these incidents from the authorities but all I know of this case is that the cyclist died after a collision with a lorry and that Newham Cyclists say that the junction is unsafe.
Thanks
