We keep on growing! Hello to all the new supporters of the campaign, since the last demo we have grown again in size massively! We hope to see you all taking action against Westminster City Council, the numbers we have now are a true force, together we can defeat this bike parking tax. Taxi drivers picket 20th May 09. Show support.  Taxi cab drivers have alerted us that they too have a grievance against WCC parking policies, and will be picketing outside Westminster City Hall, Victoria St from 2:30pm on 20th May 09 (Which should be today to most of you who checked your email!), obviously the more support we give them more support they will give us, if you are around the area stop by and show support. SAT, 23RD MAY 09 – YES! IT IS ON – They treat us like cars, we’ll park like cars!!!  In line with Westminster City Council’s "Traffic Free Shopping Day" whereby they are opening the car parks for free car parking, the NTBPT is putting its full weight behind supporters’ initiative by inviting you to join us at Cavendish Square (Oxford Street) Car Park [FULL DETAILS & MAP]. Please be parked (one bike per car bay) by 9.30am, obviously the earlier the better! THEY TREAT US LIKE CARS, WE’LL PARK LIKE CARS!!!  All are are encouraged and welcome to come and talk to members of the committee about the upcoming demo the 9th June 09 and to assist in the distribution of publicity material.

The next official demonstration. 9th June 09. Meet Berkeley Square at 5.45pm on Tuesday 9th June 2009, for a tighter, better regulated, and definitely more congesting demo, which will leave at 6.20pm and head toward Piccadilly Circus, south on Haymarket and round via Pall Mall back to Regent Street. This will keep the group together with the ultimate aim of gridlocking ourselves on this "Piccadilly Circus/Pall Mall" loop. There will be a pre-demo briefing in Berkeley Square by the campaign committee to explain everything, all instructions will be loud and clear. View demo route here (more details soon). There will be more details to follow regarding end points and post-demo refreshments. We will let you know as soon as this is arranged, any questions you can reply to this email or contact us through the campaign website.
Be warned – mayhem and congestion may occur! Publicity leaflets for download and distribution.  A leaflet has been produced for the next official demo on 9th June 09. There will be various other leaflets coming over the next few days so do check out the downloads page. Including ones for the public, when we are out on our demo rides.
See you at the next demos. Spread the word. No To the Bike Parking Tax Committee. PS. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions, we do get them all. |
