Exploiting our desire for climate action but imposing schemes that thrash the living world. They create scapegoats who can be falsely blamed while they keep their cars and continue their polluting lifestyles.
The article by Lisa O'Carroll does not mention #ltn .
The article says “the city’s air quality is blighted by traffic congestion..”
Environmentalist know LTNs increase traffic congestion and must NOT be copied by Brussels if the goal is to save lives. Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA Social Environmental Justice
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 🥲
Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA Damien Egan The behavior of some councillors is atrocious.
Lewisham say they have no baseline data for the LTN but they certainly do have baseline asthma data. Pre and post asthma data should be part of the LTN biannual monitoring. If asthma continues to increase the LTN must go.
if I could talk to Els for just 5 mins I wonder what I’d say? As Els heads to court posthumously this summer 💔. Hope Lewisham Council are taking note when they breached the human rights of the duo in 2020 when I took them to hospital due to LTN 🙄 bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
Helena Horton The concern in the UK is that the same (mainly white, middle class) NIMBYs who designed unjust LTN traffic relocation schemes (prioritising their own needs over their neighbours) will be designing the 15 minute cities of the future.

I don’t believe the council had done any post LTN traffic counts since 2016 and when traffic was up on quite a few roads around LTNs.

That worsening traffic danger and air pollution exposure for adults & children already most at risk was not a covid response or an air pollution solution or climate action..

Car ownership & usage went through the roof epic off the scale! So what did those historic LTNs achieve in reducing car ownership & usage & encouraging more active travel & modal shift? Answer - nothing👍
Rupert Moor The Fox ◼ Ediz Social Environmental Justice Little Ninja UK Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA Andrew Ellson Charlotte Gill The UK LTN Résistance The way the LTN fundamentalists, including councillors like R Choudhury tried to say that the streatham LTN was working well, shows the ideology and lack of objectivity amongst proponents of the scheme.
Also shows their lack of critical thinking skills and empathy bypass.

LTNs do not limit vehicle usage. Whose lungs matter?

Red routes 👇 aren’t purpose-built. They’re crumbling single-lane highly residential Victorian roads. Action must be taken to reduce their traffic and pollution burden. LTNs do the opposite.

It is a belief system, with religious characteristics.
The idea, independent of every available metric, that no matter the suffering caused to others, the objective is good, and the most virtuous shall be rewarded.
