SEJ says claims LTNs help the climate is 'greenwashing' as Government admits it has no evidence they cut the number of miles driven, and therefore cut climate emissions. Government adds cutting miles driven is not the purpose of LTNs.

What we want for 2024. The removal of floating bus stops. It will require a rethink of cycling policy in London. But that is overdue. Policy on cycling must sit alongside policies for disabled people, pedestrians & bus users. Thanks to

This must rank as one of the most insensitive videos ever posted. As this small group wave merrily to the cameras no thought given to the residents taking the overspill traffic, the shift worker stressed out as the bus is late, the carer or the plumber bogged down in traffic.
What a wonderful community ride on the safe streets of Streatham Wells.
Meeting neighbours and new friends for the first time.

Lambeth Council, £1 billion in debt, installs a parklet! Whatever your view of LTNs, this is absurd. Indeed, highly irresponsible.
Walked onto the hallowed ground this afternoon (was nearly taken out by a cyclist on the pavement- force of habit?) & had a good look at the parklet. OMG, it’s so much worse close up

Islington steaming towards a divided borough: those who have traffic; and those which don't. Somehow this photo didn't feature in their PR material.
The Highbury low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) is here to stay! 🎊
It means that all seven of the LTN trials we introduced between 2020 and 2022 have now been made permanent - and we've got exciting plans to continue to deliver greener, healthier streets for all. (1/3)

All it required was the removal of an LTN. Islington, you could do the same to relieve Blackstock Rd; Hackney to relieve Graham Rd; Haringey to relieve Green Lanes. And you could do it by Easter. Why prolong the suffering of those living on and using these roads?

Watch this video carefully. It will take your breath away.
Ediz, a bus driver with access to the information, compares the actual time the 118 bus took through Streatham with its timetabled time.
IT TOOK 27 MINUTES TO GO 1 STOP.
Scheduled time: 1 minute
I look at the route 118 that travels from Brixton to Morden…. Shocking delays in Streatham were bus is so late it was curtailed. LTNs are destroying the bus service here . Watch to see the delays caused by LTNs ….

Lord Holmes is our hero of the month! In the same speech he wanted action on floating bus stops, he called for an end to the ban on black cabs at Bank Junction, Bishopgate and on Tottenham Court Rd.
We back measures to assist pedestrians in these areas but no need to ban cabs.

And to think that LTN advocates believe that one their strongest arguments for LTNs is that people within LTNs will drive less. Car ownership is rising in many LTNs. And even their own reports show modal shift is 'limited'.

@heather_m_glass

This is where it actually becomes laughable! This is only a fraction of the amount of Range Rovers owned by Hackney LTN residents! How on earth can we take any of this seriously on reducing car usage & be active when the LTN residents are buying & using motors like this🤷🏼

You don't get, or perhaps don't want to get, the burning sense of injustice we feel about the way LTNs mess up so many lives. It's not the children we are having a go at (like the man in the car). It's the crassness of putting up that video when others suffer due to that LTN.
Families celebrating being able to ride their bikes on new safer streets in Streatham = “one of the most insensitive videos ever posted”. OK!

As far as we can see that is NOT what the report says. It finds an increase in walking and a smaller rise in cycling (but a fall in some LTNs) but does not say these trips switched from cars. Some may have done. Others would be extra trips. You should remove this misleading tweet
We also found that LTN’s are encouraging people to switch their cars for walking and wheeling where they can.

A powerful video put together by local campaigners. Heads should roll in Lambeth for allowing this to happen.

This tweet's so revealing. We don't believe floating bus stops are integral to cycle lanes but, if that is what he's claiming, were bus passengers, disabled people, pedestrians told this was the case before the cycle lanes went in? Strengthens our call for a cycle policy rethink.

If you do one thing today, watch this video.
@nelsabbey
calmly and coherently spells out the injustices of LTNs.
Went on Vanessa Feltz's show to talk about LTNs.
Will upload the full discussion later.

Streatham is being covered with LTNs. The people are fighting back. We will be joining them.

In this 2 pager, published today, we outline the way floating bus stops are threatening the very real progress disabled people have made over the last 40 yrs in their fight for accessible transport in London

And your regular reminder that LTNs are traffic relocation schemes not traffic reduction schemes.
Once more, you may be wondering why your bus is delayed, why bus journeys take longer, why an ambulance is stuck or what causes congestion.
Well here's your regular reminder that 60% of car trips in London are single-occupancy and take up finite road space

London Cycling Campaign & others imply LTNs create 'Climate Safe Streets.' It's an evidence-free phrase to appeal to election candidates who want tackle emissions. The main causes of emissions from cars are congestion & long journeys. LTNs tackle neither. Don't fall for the spin!

Really weird how people don't like the extra traffic, pollution and noise from vehicles relocated from the LTNs.

An impressive and informative SEJ webinar from Paul Lomax last night highlighting that much of the overspill traffic from LTNs will not evaporate and revealing how the equipment used to count that traffic by many local authorities did not count it all.
