Blackfriars Bridge bus lane

Most days I travel northbound over Blackfriars Bridge on a bus. The anti-terror barriers are placed in the road so quite often buses cannot use the bus lane if there is a large lorry etc in the other lane.

I quite accept that the barriers were put up as a matter of urgency but there is perfectly good piece of pavement between the roadway and the cycle path where the barriers could be moved to.

Who should I contact about this? City Corporation, Southwark, TFL?

THanks

A number of questions have been asked at Mayor's Question Time about this, and the answer is always that TfL, the Met, the City Corporation and the boroughs are still in discussions about how to incorporate the barriers into the street furniture as long-term measure.

Thanks James. I won’t hold my breath

It is frustrating when it wouldn’t take much to resolve the issue. I have seen thinner barriers elsewhere and permeable ones could be used to allow people to cross.

I find getting off the bus and walking over the bridge and catching the one in front is often quicker (though sometimes you can’t and then you have to be embarrassed and get back on the same bus)

Between the barriers etc and cycle lanes... Beam me up Scotty!!!!
