We've been asking for an evidence based approach to traffic manag't <Ns &now the data speaks for itself:4% reduction in overall traffic, statistically means no difference BUT EDG's traffic is up over 35%. The #socialinjustice of LTNs is now empirically observable @lb_southwark

@barbyonabike @Southwark_News @HSscorecard @London_Cycling @mcash Southwark is one of the most deprived London boroughs yet @lb_southwark are spending >£1 million of public money on LTNs in Dulwich (displacing traffic onto surrounding roads) making the lives of the richest residents living next to a huge park) EVEN nicer! Make it make sense!

Under our local cllr's watch, traffic on EDG is ⬆️ 35%. 😡3 large senior schools, a nursery and a medical hub along this road. 😡TfL said the Dulwich LTNs were the "root cause" of the congestion on Croxted So whose health has been improved? Just those in the tiny junction? oh.
Congratulations @lb_southwark for making so much progress with #HealthyStreets , helping to future proof our city. Great to see so many in our community enjoying active travel and the improved health and well being it brings.

@DulwichRoads @busbf11 @MPSDulwichVllge @InspTomCornish @MPSGooseGreen @MPSDulwichHill @MPSDulwichWood You're quickly becoming just a troll account. Insulting people who help our community shows just who you are. Talk about disingenuous...we DM'd you last week with this pic of a Southwark hire parked on double yellows at the junction in DV. Funny you never tweeted it.

The Healthy Streets Scorecard has just named Islington as its top borough in 2024: https://t.co/TPoB4UTNPM A reminder the Scorecard does NO health research. Simply bases it scores on self-selected criteria, incl how many LTNs a borough has - the more it has, the higher its score.

When councils intentionally make PT almost unusable because of displaced traffic from the LTNs, is this really a shock? The #3 bus on Croxted can take over 30 mins to travel only 500m because of the Dulwich LTNs. TfL called the LTNs the "root cause" of this congestion.

Becoming clearer by the day why this account has to spell it out in their actual bio that they're not funded by Southwark Council. Funny they never mention the work desperately needed on Croxted or EDG to improve the lives of schoolchildren and residents. Weird 💀
Exciting to see that the construction phase of #DulwichSquare and the wider improvements will begin on Monday 15th July (anticipated to be completed mid-Nov). Details - https://t.co/BwhkUv884W

More than 15,000 children were admitted to hospital across London last year with breathing difficulties. @BBCNews The problem is traffic congestion and air pollution on busy community roads like High Streets & Red Routes. Council imposed LTNs drastically worsen the status quo.

The LTN myths the next Government will need to face up to. Myth 2: Traffic will evaporate It can do so but the research is clear: evaporation is not a given. Even LTN enthusiast Rachel Aldred acknowledges that fact.

0756 this morning in Dulwich Village. School children having to cross this congested road to get into school. Dulwich Hamlet and Dulwich Infants are along this stretch, which averages 10k vehicles a day. Yet the local cllrs will tell you that the Dulwich LTNs protect children...

@EdwardJDavey We need politicians that will stand up for blind & visually impaired peoples access needs, as we are expected to take ‘a leap of faith’ just to get on a bus in a cycle lane, which is not not safe or accessible and we will not do. Will you pledge to sort this mess out please?
1 petition, 275+ supporting organisations & 5 times to @10DowningStreet to hand it in to request safe, accessible & inclusive bus stops in cycle lanes across the UK. Will the new government halt floating bus stops and shared use bus boarders or will we have to petition again?

The LTN myths the next Government will need to face up to. Myth 1: LTNs have not resulted in the predicted modal shift from car use.

Massive disconnect between Southwark council wanting people to shop local to reduce car use and greedy rent hikes for shops including post office and pharmacy. Local cllrs @sezking78 @Esmeralda_May are shamefully silent. Sign the petition. @helenhayes_

Prolonged exposure to pollution can lead to loss of independence in later life, study suggests. https://t.co/r1RQF9cz2j Where you live, walk, work, learn & play can dictate how well you age. There's a price to pay when #LTNs increase traffic emissions on community main roads.

Long-term exposure to air pollution can lead to a loss of independence for older adults, according to a University of Michigan study.

The report actually found : Of the 412 internal rd count sites, 303 (73.5%) saw any decline in motor traffic, compared to 109 (26.5%) which saw any increase. For the 175 boundary rd count sites, 83 (47.4%) saw any decline in motor traffic, against 92 (52.6%) which saw an increase
We published this report in January 2023, finding that London’s LTNs have had no systematic effect on traffic volumes on nearby main roads; the average across a wide range of measured traffic variation was an increase of 1% 2/ https://t.co/DM1gHUbDI6

When Southwark closed Court Lane & Calton Avenue, & then put DV, Burbage and part of Turney inside the Dulwich LTNs with timed closures, it *knew* the result would be this congestion on Croxted. Now Southwark do *nothing* to resolve this and totally ignore residents.

The cabbies make a first-rate case - outlined in the letter below - to allow black taxis back at Bank. What's not being asked for is opening of the area around Bank to general traffic (for which there is little support). I hope the City of London make the right decision tonight.
We’ve written to @cityoflondon Chairs of Policy and P&T on why experimental scheme for taxis access ONLY fair option at Bank Junction. No taxis used & no real world data gathered for the review = wrong recommendation. It’s time to fix the problem & keep the benefits at Bank.

The 10 year review of the Mini Holland programme in Waltham Forest shows a decimated bus service. A 1% increase in mode share by cycle that every borough saw due to the pandemic. A rise in car ownership. An increase in asthma rates. An extraordinary return on £30m of funding.
The 10 year celebration of the Mini Holland programme in Waltham Forest last night. A borough that made - and continues to make - an extraordinary return on the initial £30m of funding. A showcase in the value of political leadership, committed officers & engaged community.

And as the cab trade says in a letter to the City Corporation: "Before the restrictions, no taxi had been involved in a collision resulting in serious injuries or fatalties at the junction." Corporation to make a decision tonight.
Potential lifting of restrictions on Black Cabs at Bank Junction covered by @BBCLondonNews - watch whole clip. @LordChrisHolmes restriction on Black Cabs “can’t be right on equality or economic grounds” Court of Common Council @cityoflondon will debate & vote. lifting

After cost of living crisis, voters are most worried about NHS. Our system is complex but can be improved by a preventative model. In 2020 coroner in Ella’s case warned unless Gov clean the Air, CYP like her will continue to die. We know air pollution is linked to many diseases.
