Cllr for Greenwich Park ward. Professional Librarian. Views expressed are my own. Mostly tweeting about politics.

The East & West Greenwich Traffic Management Scheme moved ahead after call in this evening. We’re seeing improvements in traffic & air quality - and as soon as the scheme is implemented we’ll be able to take forward mitigations for places that haven’t felt those benefits.
