Our ref: FOI-1754-2021/GH

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 December 2020 asking for information about the Workshop on Bus Stop Bypasses.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

This workshop was the first in a series. We have been advised that we are creating ‘no-go areas’ for some people who fear for their safety when boarding and alighting buses, unknowingly crossing a road on a continuous footway or interact with ‘shared space’. These concerns have intensified as a result of the volume and pace with which London Streetspace Programme (LSP) infrastructure is being delivered.

This engagement programme will seek to address these challenges, the upcoming review of the London Cycling Design Standards (LCDS) and the development of our Accessibility and Inclusion Action Plan providing an opportunity to further develop consistent best practice design standards.

This builds on previous engagement we have done with the disability sector and seeks to ensure all Londoners are able to enjoy the benefits of the London Streetspace Programme.

Please find attached a copy of the information pack sent to external attendees (this includes the organisations that attended the workshop).

Please note that in accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation the names of non-TfL attendees have been removed from this document, as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act. This is because disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the legislation, specifically the first principle which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.
