Motion: Living Streets in King's Cross

Hello fellow Living Streets King's Cross members

If you live or work near York Way, you may have received a consultation recently from LB Camden, on proposals for traffic/pedestrian improvements to York Way. The consultation area was tiny, and the consultation asks which of two almost identical options you'd like.

This consultation and some of the strength of feeling shown on the King's Cross Environment website (see comments here: http://bit.ly/bbb3fj) suggests this is an opportunity for us as a group to press the council to rethink the whole King's Cross gyratory system.

With Clare Hill's help I've worded the group's motion as follows:

"Living Streets King's Cross group wants a wider, more thorough consultation and urges a redesign of the Kings Cross Gyratory System must be undertaken to make York Way, Wharfedale, Caledonian, Kings Cross Rd and Gray's Inn Road more liveable and pleasant for non-motorised users of the area."

CAN YOU PLEASE SECOND OR AMEND this motion by Friday 22 Oct?

Thanks to those who have already responded!

I will send the response on behalf of the group (23 of us?) to Camden (and Islington and TfL) after Friday.

Regards
Gregory Cowan, Chair
