Link to BDC/BIC/Urban Flow report again in case previous link didn't work: keepislingtonmoving.com/data#bdc/bid-r… Although it's specific to Islington, I imagine the same arguments apply to most urban LTNs. Well worth reading in full. Rowena Champion Kaya Comer-Schwartz @Paul_Convery Andrew Ellson

A really significant milestone in the battle against LTNs. The survey results get more shocking the deeper you drill down. Eg 91% businesses against; 74% say negative effect on environment; etc Rowena Champion Andrew Ellson @Paul_Convery

Check out this post on Nextdoor: nextdoor.co.uk/p/fdKL8WQQTsR3… - Islington Council's LTN programme discriminates against disabled people and its Blue Badge exemption policy doesn't work.

Despite the recent government guidance it seems Islington Council is hell-bent on introducing yet more LTNs - this time at Annette Rd in Nags Head. See keepislingtonmoving.com/annette-rd Please make your views known via [email protected]

And here's another monster LTN proposal under the joint control of Islington and Camden councils: keepislingtonmoving.com/dartmouth-park Their war on cars threatens to disrupt the free movement of people and goods throughout the whole of Islington and beyond. How do we stop this madness?

The Islington officer @Paul_Convery refers to is Matt Bononi who is hell-bent on LTNs which will discriminate against the disadvantaged (the old, infirm, or disabled), anyone living on a main road, and most small businesses. Why does he have such influence on a Labour Council?

Interesting "unintended experiment" happening on Offord Road within the proposed Barnsbury.Laycock LTN, where closures for water works are already causing congestion on neighbouring boundary roads. Council please take note Rowena Champion @Paul_Convery Islington Mayor

Shocking expose by Andrew Ellson in The Times of how LTNs and cycle lanes are paralysing bus transport in London boroughs. Hackney is singled out as on of the worst offenders, but Islington is probably just as bad. Rowena Champion @Paul_Convery Cllr. Una O'Halloran

Breaking News Excellent article from Andrew Ellson of the Times on research showing that of 90 LTNs locals opposed them in 87% of cases:  thetimes.com/article/530ef8….

An FOI has revealed that Islington Council now receives a whopping £7million per year on average from PCNs related to LTNs - see keepislingtonmoving.com/data#pcn_reven…. We believe this is the highest level in the UK.

Congratulations to West Dulwich Action Group (WDAG) which has won a landmark ruling against Lambeth Council over a trial LTN. We've posted Steve Bird's article on the KIM website here: keepislingtonmoving.com/media#west_dul… Worth reading in full!

Let’s hope Judicial Office sees sense and dismisses Save Our Safer Streets - Tower Hamlets appeal against the judge’s decision & the democratically elected mayor Lutfur Rahman when it goes back to court soon. Millionaire siblings of disgraced individuals can’t be allowed to overturn a democratic vote.

Wow! When even schools recognise that LTNs are a bad idea since they cause wider congestion which makes it more difficult for children to get to and from school you know that the whole LTN project was fatally flawed. RIP!
