Camilla Patini Cyclists and pedestrians share the space on Narrow Way, Hackney Central. - Credit: Polly Hancock Hackney pedestrians have reported being increasingly worried about safety along the Narrow Way, with some calling for cyclists to be banned from the shared zone. Narrow Way was previously open to motor vehicles like buses and cars, but was redesigned in 2013 as a shared space for pedestrians and cyclists. However, residents like Rhonda Bickles have lodged complaints with the council about cyclists and those on electric scooters travelling at high speeds through the space. Rhonda said: “Cyclists and people on electric scooters just go mad down there. This is very dangerous. Something ought to be done.”
