What is your view on the proposed removal of the Wapping busgate, a scheme funded by TfL as part of its Bus Priority funding? What effect would its removal have on Wapping bus routes?

I am disappointed that the London Borough of Tower Hamlets is proposing to remove the Wapping bus gate. It was installed using Transport for London (TfL) bus priority funding and allows for faster and more reliable journeys on the route 100. TfL has recorded its objection and will meet with Tower Hamlets officers to discuss the response and implications for buses and bus users, as well as concerns about the proposed removal of other schemes. My Walking and Cycling Commissioner has also requested to meet with the Mayor of Tower Hamlets, and I’d urge him to accept that meeting to discuss his plans for improving air quality in the borough.
