Lovely thread on LTNs - please read to the end

Addiction to fossil fuels is mutually assured destruction. We need to fix the broken global energy mix. Instead of hitting the brakes on the decarbonization of the global economy, now is the time to race towards a renewable energy future.

“We are sleepwalking to climate catastrophe,” U.N. Secretary General António Guterres warned Monday. “If we continue with more of the same, we can kiss 1.5 goodbye. Even 2 degrees may be out of reach. And that would be catastrophe.” nyti.ms/3iD9wba

Archive photos of criminal damage to Safer Streets for Tulse Hill 🚶🏿‍♂️👨🏼‍🦽🤸🏿‍♀️ illustrating this great piece by George Monbiot on the way #LTNs liberate our streets & neighbourhoods Spoiler alert: in much of Lambeth #activetravel is winning. Still a lot more to do here & elsewhere theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Best bit of my journey was Claylands road. Love SaveOvalStreets. Thanks for the relaxing cruise through your neighbourhood.

Trussterfuck. Thanks John Crace

I'm very frustrated that global leaders are still not giving the climate emergency the action and investment it requires. Words are not enough. Without #ClimateAction, climate catastrophe is coming for all of us.

Extraordinary, unputdownable book by ⁦Suzanne Heywood CBE⁩ about the courage of a child in the face of parental neglect.

Fentiman Road in Lambeth's Oval LTN has been absolutely transformed. New planting & SUDS, seating, bike parking. Looks fantastic. Great work Lambeth Council (((Rezina))) 🌹🐝 Claire Holland

July has already seen: The hottest three-week period ever recorded. The three hottest days on record. The highest-ever ocean temperatures for this time of year. It is still possible to avoid the very worst of climate change, but only with dramatic, immediate #ClimateAction.

Already getting withdrawal symptoms from the cricket

For weeks we've been patiently waiting for vandalised signs to be replaced and planters to have, well, plants in them. Can we have our LTN soon please Lambeth Council @RezinaChowdhury Claire Holland ?

Hello ⁦The Times and The Sunday Times⁩ this photo shows ⁦Dulwich College⁩ not ⁦JAG Schools⁩

It’s clear that the Tories and their right-wing press allies are becoming increasingly desperate as the election approaches – hence today’s bizarre attack on Lambeth council for being a progressive borough that prioritises action on tackling the climate crisis. 1/3
