A Parliamentary safety group is urging London Mayor Boris Johnson to hold a safety summit following the spate of cyclists' deaths in the capital. There was "a need for urgent action", said the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety.
After a week which saw a spate of fatal cycling accidents in London, Boris Johnson is being urged to get to grips with road safety by holding a special 'Safety Summit'.
The Mayor has been handed a letter from a parliamentary group demanding immediate, urgent action. The family of cyclist Venera Minakhmetova, who was killed at the Bow Roundabout, added to those calls, saying her death must lead to change.
