Holborn Coalition

We’re building a coalition of local businesses to help transform Holborn.

We’re calling for a Holborn that isn’t dominated by motor-traffic; that’s safe for people on bikes and on foot; and that’s a pleastant place to stop, meet, eat & drink, and work.

If you work in the area and you want your business to pledge support, please contact us using the form below, or use the draft email below to send further information to decision makers in your organisation.
 

Build Support

You can use the email wording below as a starting point to share information and ask your employer to pledge support – you could send it to members of your Senior Management Team, or people responsible for sustainability, CSR, or HR. You could also circulate information to other colleagues who cycle to work or who may be interested.

“Dear [all],

I’ve come across an exciting new campaign to make Holborn much safer for people walking and cycling.

London Cycling Campaign (LCC) has identified the system of junctions around Holborn as one of the most dangerous in London and in response, they’re building support amongst organisations like us to bring about change.

Most of our team, visitors and customers take public transport, walk or cycle here and so it is essential that all these journeys can be made safely.

LCC are calling on the Mayor, TfL and Camden Council to take these simple steps to reduce unnecessary motor traffic and make the area safer for active travel:

• Improving and creating safe cycle routes through the area, including protected cycle tracks, particularly east-west.
• Better and more direct pedestrian crossings and nicer places to amble and dwell.
• Removing the outdated, complex and hostile one-way system entirely.

Our organisation can be a part of this much needed change – to find out more about how we can pledge our support, please follow this link.

Best wishes,

[Your name]”
