Action on Canals

The path alongside Lisson Grove Estate is currently owned by CityWest Homes and due to be adopted by Westminster City Council. The path will only be adopted by WCC once it has been upgraded to public highway standard at the expense of the current owners.

The path currently has anti-cycling barriers along it, which some cyclists see as a challenge to their balancing powers. In addition, traffic signals have recently been installed at the junction of Lisson Grove and Frampton Street to ensure a safer journey through the streets for walkers and cyclists following the canal where it passes through a tunnel.

The high-level path at Lisson Green may be improved.

There is also to be a Cycle Route Inspection Meeting (CRIM) on the canal. Top of our list will be doing something about the one-way streets that prevent eastbound cyclists from following the canal where it cannot realistically be cycled, namely Delamere Terrace and Blomfield Road.

One-way Delamere Terrace is currently an obstacle for eastbound cyclists.
