Children are exposed to five times more #airpollution during the #schoolrun. Highest level on main roads & near #idling vehicles = stunted lung & brain growth😱

They generate the vast majority of trips. Why should the 8% who live on 'main' roads get more and more of that traffic pushed onto them?

LondonLivingStreets Unbelievable how this group continues to support LTNs that displace traffic onto residential roads where poorer people & ⬆️% of BAME people live, take buses, & attend school. The reality of the classist & racist impacts of LTNs is the creation of killing streets. Social Environmental Justice

LondonLivingStreets We cannot agree with this ask. What you are effectively saying is that the 'main' roads should take everybody's traffic despite side road residents being responsible for generating the big majority of it.

Dont want to hear from
the council on this, a number of councillors were gloating; still not forgiven. I remember my daughter who doesn’t have asthma had to be nebulised. Damien Egan changed it slightly as we were suffering. A number of MPs walked to A205 to see for themselves 🥲

Today I chose to swap journalism for action, because despite being taught the importance of balance, there is no single justifiable argument for this outdated project which has no place at a time of climate emergency. Sit tight because I wrote a 13,000 word dissertation on this.

Is there anyone more qualified to have an expert opinion on this experiment? If they won't listen to Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA, who WILL they listen to?

Little Ninja UK Save Our Buses55 (SOB) Mark Harper Michele Ragusa The Fox ◼ Shimano Steve John Stewart Clair Ann Jones Ediz The goal of physical separation of cyclists from private motor *volume traffic* can be easily achieved by reducing car storage in side streets to the point where it is agreed traffic has reduced enough.

A segregation-only approach means defending high traffic & all its impacts.

London Green Party Zoë Garbett As an environmentalist how can you support LTNs.? They gridlock red routes, increasing pollution, slowing buses. Asthma rates increased across my borough, Lewisham, in the LTN’s wake. Lewisham resident clean air campaigner Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA calls them a lung apartheid.

The dire Lee LTN which is about milking money (3M) first yr. Nothing to do with C19 or air quality. Lewisham council argue it funds schemes ie. pensioner oyster cards. That’s not a reason to stunt young lung growth & council tax has risen. The fall out healthwise is catastrophic.

Registered vehicles on UK roads:

1991: 20 million
2007: 27 million
2022: 40.8 million (81.3% are cars). 🚙🚗🛻💨💨💨

Over 92% of car owners live on side roads. . They are the traffic congesting & polluting High Streets & Red Routes where the majority walk, cycle, bus.🚶‍♀️🚴🚎

Carlton Reid WIRED When I write about our lived experience of the LTN - traffic displaced onto our road, increased asthma across our borough affecting 2 members of our car-free household, delays to our buses, my son’s journey to SEN school I get blocked, mocked, blacklisted. Funny that.

Pioneering New York seeks to address decades of discrimination, as the Mayoral Department of Environmental Justice publishes a report confirming disproportionate pollution impact on communities of colour.

The London Mayoralty does not have an Environmental Justice department.

Helena Horton There is certainly a difference in approach. While Carlos Moreno | IAE-Paris Sorbonne points out these are not just traffic schemes in Paris, with a cross-section of measures including protecting local shops, in the UK they are precisely that and no more.

What did anyone expect? Living Streets feign care for blind/partially sighted people/those with limited mobility. In reality, they, LCC, & @sustrans are mouthpieces for able bodied cyclists, who just want to improve their Strava times on our roads! Social Environmental Justice

Black, Asian minority ethnic groups are disproportionately affected when LTNs relocate traffic to main roads & Red Routes, yet their voices and lived experiences are not part of the LTN review.

Please everyone, read this about Will Norman
He is London's Walking and Cycling Commissioner.
What happened to making sure blind and disabled people can walk and travel safely?
He has been ignoring disability campaigners as far back as 1.05.2019 (pictured here):

University of Westminster - Rachel Aldred team - surveying peds & cyclists in Brixton. Have they been asked to shore up the Brixton Hill LTN? A study found the 4% net reduction only possible because 2 rds had big reductions. Most,incl within the LTN, had an increase in traffic.
