@haringeycouncil has voted to let all Haringey Blue Badge holders through ALL Haringey LTN filters. Come on Kaya & Rowena time to dump your fiddly individual exemption scheme and follow suit for Islington BBHs @InIslington @RowChampion @IslingtonBC @KayaJunction @Paul_Convery

Whist @IslingtonBC celebrate their certificate from the cycling campaign group's 'Healthy Scorecard' Is this success criteria to make St Mary's LTN permanent? Poisoning the AQ & lungs of those that live and use these sacrificial roads? @RowChampion @KayaJunction @Paul_Convery

The stats on vehicle increases on Blackstock Road (12K to 19K+ a day) show the devastating displacement caused by LTNs, a pattern of traffic relocation repeated all over London. The blinkered council approach that LTNs are the answer now what’s the question needs to stop & fast.
Concern traffic queues on boundary roads may be leading to higher emissions from vehicles https://t.co/FM8Sf3Gtj1

A very wet Tuesday late afternoon. No point catching the bus though- queue almost at Almeida street going North. This cannot continue for a year!@IslingtonBC @CarolineRussell @IslingtonTrib

Holloway Road now looks like this all the time at any time of day. More pollution for those working, living and commuting along this road. Why does no one care?

@CarolineRussell @IslingtonBC We need an emergency public meeting to consider the impact of these works on the community that is hemmed in by the ltn’s and the gridlock on Holloway Road. Please organise an urgent public meeting so you can hear directly the distress that residents are facing.

Just had this from @TfL . Looks pretty sensible BUT..these works planned on boundary roads of #LTN. Potential nightmare. @IslingtonBC @CarolineRussell please confirm #LTN restrictions will be lifted for the duration. #joinedupworking #allinittogether

In fact the diversion signs are unclear but seem to be sending cars through the cameras. Please can someone @IslingtonBC confirm that the cameras are closed. As usual total disorganisation and no planning. Shoddy

Well, well, well….. who’d have thought it….
A pro-cycling “campaigner” appointed to head a review into controversial low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNS) will declare them a success in a “whitewash” report, a Government committee has been told. More than 13,000 people signed an online petition on a https://t.co/mnUl6qUv5N

@Jono_Kenyon @JonathanWinn19 @HighburyKeep @KatharinaH42 @hold_bag @PaulTho00620544 @Jono_Kenyon you can campaign for cleaner air or support LTNs, not both! The issues are in direct conflict and contradictory. Much like a Labour party that claims to work for those who need the help most & selfish LCC campaigns to disproportionately affect those on boundary rds

Shocking new consultation summary shows majority of residents across Islington’s 7 LTN trials clearly say NO. Yet instead of listening to its electorate Labour IBC keeps saying YES to these trials. Whose tune is it dancing to? 🧐@IslingtonBC @RowChampion
This important analysis of residents' reactions to the the first 7 Islington LTN trials reveals the majority were negative, exactly the opposite of what the Council have been telling us. For more details see https://t.co/Tgx5OhwXSy > Breaking News.

@IslingtonBC @KayaJunction So Islington council leader - this is happening on your watch. Are you too distracted by the LTN PCN pot of gold to notice?💰 https://t.co/4KNWCm3GVu

Enough is enough. If you agree LTN trials need independently reviewing then sign and share this new parliamentary petition. Time to be heard. https://t.co/0I9vWrtTgz

The review should look at, but not be limited to, possible benefits and disbenefits they might have to the local and wider area where they are introduced. This should including pollution, road...

See Critique of Barnsbury Statistics used at November meeting: https://t.co/vGD0ABp0JA . Most of the statistics were misleading, inaccurate or just plain wrong. Conclusion: the Council's consultation process is flawed and it should just leave Barnsbury alone!
