Pleased we have been able to work with residents inside the Ferndale LTN who came up with alternative proposals to improve it. We listened to them & I am delighted to report that additional modal filters suggested by residents will be going in, subject to statutory consultation.

Imagine how healthy and well we'd be if our bike networks enabled everyone from kids to the very elderly to cycle several kilometres every day as the Dutch do. It would save billions in health costs, clean our air and transform quality of life #BikeIsBest statista.com/statistics/620…

We can't wait for change. To clean London's air we need a combination of interventions which work together to bring down the toxins ruining people's lives

This 👇 isn’t what kids want to see when they come out of school-they want space to run and play,trees & flowers 🌸 , a place to store their bikes 🚲.Thanks to Lambeth Council and (((Rezina))) 🌹🐝 the #kerbside strategy will make that a reality for many ❤️ #steeetsforkids #SE21

I would like to coin a new phrase to describe something that happens a lot in local government: 'Burger Bar Syndrome'.

when it looks like there is local opposition to something, but its actually just the same Five Guys writing lots of letters and tweeting at councillors

The solution to this problem is simple. Re-prioritising and re-allocating road space to remove the need (not the option) to drive everywhere. Cheap to deliver, fantastic for public health, finances and the climate #BikeIsBest theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…

This article suggests that around 25% of drivers would happily give up their car given attractive alternatives. Creating this choice and future is how we decarbonise transport, improve health and happiness and make better places #BikeIsBest express.co.uk/life-style/car…

This petition was open to all people of all ages who live or work in all of Lambeth & was heavily promoted through leaflets, email, Facebook, nextdoor, twitter etc. And yet only 1371 signatures - a tiny proportion of the c. 15,000 people in Streatham Wells.

The LTN is popular!

Hackney's low-traffic neighbourhood programme continues, with plans outlined for the following LTNs

in 2023-24:

- Dalston
- Hoxton East
- Chatsworth Rd
- Shacklewell

and in 2024-25:

- Stamford Hill West
- Cazenove Rd
- Craven Walk
- Southwold Rd

If you live in Haringey or are part of Haringey Council here’s proof (should you need it) that ‘local’ protests are being attended by pro-traffic individuals and groups from across London and beyond.

Most of us in Brixton Hill & Lambeth do NOT have access to a car or van - FACT. Yet our streets are dominated by them. The incoming LTN will make streets safer, greener, more inclusive - & fairer!

Lambeth Council new Kerbside Strategy is a real reimagining of the way our streets should look. Lots of people have floated elements of this before. But this is uncompromising and complete - it actually maps to the hierarchy of use that’s been (supposedly) in place for decades

Lambeth Council has published its kerbside strategy. Really interesting document: notes that 94% of kerbside in the borough is used for parking or to regulate parking, and 6% for all else. Strategy aims to 'reinstate the kerbside as a public space' moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/documents/s142…

In 2022 we trialled traffic-reduction measures on & around Murray Street/Camden Square.

The results are in!

- Motor traffic on local streets AND main roads are down 54% & 17% respectively
- Cycling is up 11% on local streets
- NO2 levels are down at all 7 monitoring sites
