Space for safe cycling and walking during lockdown.

• Marcus showed the interest from Councillors he had recieved.
  • Some have confirmed they joined the cross party webinar mentioned last week (see Notes from our meeting May 5th 2020  )
  • Will follow up with others
• Marcus has had enquiries from Elliot Colburn MP
  • and has followed up with questions on how we can act quickly.
• Ian Price had been in contact with Chas
  • We have shared resources with him including:
    • commonplace.io being free for councils
    • _streets : social-distancing resource showing which streets do not have have minimum space for distancing
      • Neil highlighted that this may not be as good as it looked as it would hide streets that are big enough but also have parking, bus stops and street furniture that mean they too fail to have enough space
• General discussion about data collected.
  • keep sharing
  • York Road could be priority along with St Heliers
  • we should all look over map and ask for edit access [from Marcus probably] should it be useful.

LCC Local Group forum

• Slack invitations to be shared too
