Re: Good on you Camden!
Sounds like good news.
On the other hand we have this
"Questions were raised on Tuesday as to why the Metropolitan Police aren’t following West Midlands’ Police lead and running the close pass initiative in London. The Sergeant Simon Castle, from the Met's Cycle Safety Team, said they had trialled the scheme but with slow traffic speeds in London the cyclists were overtaking traffic, rather than the other way round."
It seems Sergeant Simon Castle wants wants to cycle more and also realise Camden is part of the Met area.
The Met Force covers all of Greater London except the City. Not all of it is solid motor traffic - yet anyway.
