Sustrans Scottish funding - a thread:

According to Sustrans’ accounts, it received £115m in grants from Transport Scotland in the last 3 financial years.

According to Scot Gov, it awarded Sustrans £179m in 2.5 years to Oct 2020.

Just the £63m difference then. Why?

This fact can’t be hidden. We all know it -we live here and we experience it. This FOI proves it. Locally people are constantly talking about it. Delivery drivers comment on it. Nurseries and schools suffer it. Children walking to school inhale it. IT is a fact. Croxted Clean Air too

Please also rule out political COI from London Cycling Campaign members at senior level.

Jim Dickson🇺🇦 Lambeth Council Danny Adilypour The reality of Railton Rd at the moment Just miserable - rubbish, graffiti. Planters used as rubbish bins & urinals. Been like this for months. Disabled people struggling with barriers. Traffic incl HGVs displaced onto boundary roads

Ferndale, shall we say it again .1way in 1 way out :8 side roads, 4blocks of flats,3churches,2hops,1 pizzeria,1barber,1 nursery schoo,1alms house .1 pub @OneLambeth_Just Ferndale Road Action Group Mr K.M.T Danny Adilypour Darrell Invaderz @Lowesm

Ferndale Road - 1 way in/out and essential works creates gridlock but don’t worry that motorcycle delivery will still get through by using the pavement #LoveMyLTN

Ferndale LTN which is not working, the council know it’s not working yet choose to do nothing rather than fix it!

Remember when the Government said they couldn’t intervene with problem LTNs as they were local matters? Now the government are withdrawing funding for councils which remove problem LTNs. Total coercion by Gilligan.

I saw a man pressure-washing the private pathways of a plush London apartment block today, washing all the dirt and rubbish onto the public path. And that’s exactly how LTNs work - push all your crap onto someone else to deal with so your streets are lovely and clean. Tidy.

SIXTEEN (yep 16) of my local councillors live in LTNs they themselves imposed. It could be more.

They benefit from traffic free enclaves- keeping their cars to use and pollute on other peoples’ roads of course. Poorer people usually.

This is just corruption plain and simple.

Their plan is to continually arm LTN advocates with reports, papers & opinion pieces misrepresented as research & journalism.
Sadly, they're really good at it. 😔

Peter Walker Perhaps they've noticed the LTN studies are by the same people, referencing their own work, funded by those looking for results that support LTNs and presented as evidence by LTN friendly journalists. You guys aren't corrupt, there's no conspiracy, you just play the game well. 🤷🏾‍♂️

York city centre ban on blue badge drivers has had ‘horrific’ impact – but it is set to become permanent yorkmix.com/city-centre-ba… #York City of York Council Andy D'Agorne York Disability Rights Forum @YorkAccessible YorkHumanRightsCity Disability Rights UK Chris Fry Chiltern Law - Solicitors Transport for All #ClosedToUs

Bill Parry-Davies Hackney Council Mete Coban MBE Guess they are worried about legal action. If they really cared they wouldn’t have ignored such an important issue for so long. Many people with limited mobility don’t have blue badges & consideration needs to be given to paid/unpaid carers. #SocialInjusticeofLTNs
