Meeting with the Cycling Commissioner, Andrew Gilligan, and leading councillors

May 3, 2013 by David Arditti

On Monday 1 May 2013 Brent Cyclists held its biggest meeting to date. About 35 people turned up to the plush Sala Room in the Crown Moran Hotel, Cricklewood, for the launch of Brent Cyclists' Cycling Plan for Brent, and to hear London's Cycling Commissioner, Andrew Gilligan, talk about The Mayor's Vision for Cycling in London and answer questions.

Brent LCC members were joined by some members from Barnet, including the Vice Chair of LCC, some people from the Campaign for Better Transport and the Canal and River Trust, two Brent council officers, and four councillors: the Leader of Brent, Cllr Muhammed Butt, the Lead Member for Children and Families, Cllr. Mary Arnold, the Lead Member for Adults and Health, Cllr Krupesh Hirani, and the Chief Whip, Cllr Shafique Choudhary: a pretty impressive line-up.
