Richmond Park MP backs cycle safety
1:30pm Wednesday 29th February 2012 in Richmond By Christine Fleming
Richmond Park MP Zac Goldsmith has shown support for cyclists after taking part in a cycle safety debate.
Mr Goldsmith was one of 77 MPs who packed into Westminster Hall on Thursday, February 23, to discuss making roads safer for cyclists.
He said: “There should be greater time restrictions on the use of HGVs, particularly in the cities, and far greater use of the River Thames to shift HGVs from the roads altogether.
“Members called for a range of measures, and sent out a clear message to the Government that real steps need to be taken to improve conditions for cyclists.”
