00:00Black cabs could keep weekday access through Bank Junction under a recommendation from City of London officers.
00:07The junction was closed to traffic on weekdays in 2017 after a cyclist died and more than 100 people were
00:13injured.
00:14A trial allowing taxis through began in July last year.
00:18Officers say no collision during the trial involved a taxi, although casualty rates increased compared with earlier years.
00:25They recommend the arrangement continues beyond January next year.
00:30The London cycling campaign says more traffic could make the junction less safe for people walking, cycling and wheeling.
00:37Taxi representatives say licensed drivers were not responsible for collisions.
