Morningside LTN: "Cllr Marie-Clair Munro, Conservatives: “This scheme has pitted neighbour against neighbour and street against street." "We ... must never lose sight that the residents of our city ... are our employers. We have a duty to listen to them." news.stv.tv/east-central/cou…

This is the problem when those who make policy decisions don’t understand scientific data & inequality in health. @LouiseKrupski look at Streatham LTN or the horrendous one you support in Lewisham. If you live in one of course its popular but for those outside who cares? Nimbyism

Poor @peterwalker99 Still defending unjust LTN traffic relocation schemes using ‘research’ from longtime LTN activists who have no care for the (generally poorer) folk living, working, using buses, going to school on roads taking traffic from LTN streets theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…

Look!!👇👇 The LTN has been scrapped and immediately buses are moving, as are trucks, lorries, vans no longer stuck in gridlocked traffic. 👏👏 Please do the same for Lewisham, Hackney, Enfield, Southwark, Oxford, Bath, Birmingham…. It’s time to free us all from LTNs. 🙏🙏
First night of the suspension and SHR is practically back to pre-ltn vibes🎉

Just this morning I met with @Councillorsuzie & local residents concerned about this mishandled LTN scheme. Credit to Susan & @NeilGarratt for highlighting local concerns. The wider issue of unpopular LTNs is being looked at closely by @transportgovuk - more to come on this soon.
A win for all the local people who've had to put up with Labour's LTN nonsense in Streatham, and we who pressed Labour to open their eyes and look at the disaster they created. If the LTN cheerleaders are right, this suspension will make no difference to A23 traffic. Let's see.

Now that @LambethLabour have abandoned the Streatham Wells LTN: 1) @clairekholland, @RezinaChowdhury and Streatham councillors should resign; 2) Council officers can confirm LTNs create more pollution and congestion, and no 'evaporation'; and 3) Remove all LTNs in Lambeth. Now

Chowdhury "I was told we had to suspend the LTN by TfL but I lied and lied and enthusiastically gaslighted residents and commuters continuously prior to this moment"

Hey @lambeth_council @LambethLabour @clairekholland @RezinaChowdhury We know that the poorest people in the Lambeth don’t own a car so WHY are your LTNs displacing traffic onto roads where poorer folk live, work, use buses go to school etc? @LambethLibDems @GreenPartyScott

London Cycling Commissioner’s view of this is that it doesn’t happen much and enables those that don’t cycle to cycle. The borough with the highest cycling levels and most diversity in cycling, Hackney, demonstrates this is not the case. #TheCultOfCycling

Jeremy - here’s the bit you didn’t post. We know you don’t like Cllr Biddolph, but as a BBC journalist you have a responsibility to present the truth. The next paragraph in the article clearly indicates Cllr Biddolph says she did not say that. But you prefer to suggest otherwise.

Here’s what getting around on the bus in Chiswick looks like since we stole their bus lane for our empty cycle lane! Thanks Katherine for spending millions on this despite it screwing over all the other residents, especially as there’s usually less than 1000 people a day using it

TfL data shows 2023 westbound bus times c.5% slower than the equivalent journey in 2019; however only 40% of the route used by TfL to calculate those journey times is on the section of #Chiswick High Rd affected by #Cycleway9.

Shocking money grab ...
REVEALED: Sadiq Khan has made £9 MILLION in ULEZ fines in just 6 weeks - much of which has been paid by the poorest drivers. Share this. 👇 gbnews.com/politics/sadiq-kh…

Standard behaviour on #Cycleway9
One pedestrian crossing on #Cycleway9, recorded during one hour on 14th September. 36 people running the red lights in the cycle lane, 25 of those while pedestrians were either crossing or waiting to cross. (NB - video at 2x speed due to Twitter/X upload limits)

Not that it was a great surprise, with the London Cycling Campaign well-represented on Hounslow's cabinet. Apparently not a conflict of interest though for Cllr Dunne to conduct the "analysis" of #Cycleway9 and make her recommendation - go figure!? 🤪
