Cally Festival Fun

A fine fun day out at the fab Cally Festival for the St Peters Labour Councillors, or 'SP3' as we are known.  Pictured are myself, Cllr Gary Doolan and Cllr Alice Perry, the human dynamo.  The festival is particularly poignant for Alice as she lives in the area, and grew up round there. 

Whilst we were at the festival we spent some time collecting more signatures for our particularly popular petition on Canal towpath safety for all, which we started at the Canal Festival earlier in the month.  The petition calls on the Council to work with TFL, Hackney, and the CRT to deliver cycle calming measures on the towpath and safer alternative routes for cyclists in a hurry.  The aim is to try and re-balance towpath use in favour of leisure and recreational users, rather than commuters and speed trainers.
