Cycle Lanes. TFL issued a warning that they may now issue a fine to motor vehicles caught driving in a cycle lane on a TfL red route when not permitted, to help improve cycle safety. (Only cyclists and rental electric scooters can use cycle lanes. All other road users, including motorcycles and other types of scooters, are not permitted to use cycle lanes. Black taxis and Private Hire Vehicles are permitted to enter to pick up and drop off customers). TfL may issue a fine to motorists who:
  • Drive within, or cross, the solid white line of a cycle lane when not permitted
  • Stop or park in a cycle lane when not permitted
The fine for red route traffic offences paid within 28 days is £160. If the fine is paid within 14 days, it will be reduced to £80.

MapRA Harvesting group. I used to organise groups of fruit tree pickers to pick fruit from members trees and donate to various charities (with some for tree owners and pickers!) However, I’ve decided that it is no longer viable for me to to do it; there are other better organised groups covering our area.  So if this appeals to you; either for picking (and it is fun; reduces waste and aids the charities) or if you have fruit tree, then contact Janey at the Kensal to Kilburn (K2K) harvester group (kensaltokilburnharvesters@gmail.com) or Viv at  the Willesden Harvester group willesdenharvesters@gmail.com
