George Monbiot Just in case you forgot who I am - read my story which reflects the story of so many lower income Londoners in areas like Hackney who live on “poor roads” that have become increasing lethal. This is environmental injustice! Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA Little Ninja UK

#justforbalance Here’s my story and that of my partner who was one of the only African heritage members of LCC before LTNs (now resigned). And below👇 a photo of “London loves cycling” that does not represent the London many of us know and love.

The grim reality is the Mums For Lungs supports displacing traffic to the roads with multiple schools, homes & where ppl walk every day. They are #nimby hypocrites who support the wealthy having a free private road #LTNs as the expense of poorer neighbours. Only #somelungsmatter
Can't speak for #LondonLovesCycling , I love cycling, however cycling infrastructure on behalf of cycling campaign groups has decimated my Neighbourhood for those inside and outside of the bollards.
LTNs have created a social divide and incurred ongoing issues #JustForBalance

As a cyclist who has never owned a car and transports his children daily by cargo bike, I share the hashtag #LondonLovesCycling .
As a bus user, pedestrian and believer in social & environmental justice, I'm appalled at the selfish actions of some cycling groups. 👇🏾 #NotInMyName
#bbcaq Problem with LTNs isn't just poor consultation, it’s that for every low traffic neighbourhood there’s a high traffic neighbourhood created, where traffic is moved to. To quote Labour MP Clive Efford LTNs are “the worst form of Nimbyism” Lambethltnwatch Social Environmental Justice
The London Cycling Campaign is staging a Festival of Cycling this weekend with the title 'London Loves Cycling'. Timed just before next week's elections. We back cycling too but #justforbalance we highlight the policies pursued by some cycling groups over the past 4 years.

ONS show that they also have the highest car ownership in H&F Council . It is unbelievable that a Labour Council should indulge such social inequality
Sadiq Khan You spoke about Rosamund “the bereaved mum whose daughter Ella died of a preventable death”.💔 Here’s what Rosamund says about LTNs:
“LTNs have made pollution a lot worse… for those already impacted, those already marginalised. It’s environmental racism, it’s lung apartheid”.👇🏾
