Little Ninja UK Let’s not forget the flooding of main steam media with these poorly researched, heavily biased & data unsound TFL funded ‘academic’ papers to convince the public there is honest merit in the findings which is both untrue & highly misleading. It’s designed to sway minds.

BIG WIN FOR RESIDENTS. Government has REJECTED a key part of City Airport’s to expand. It has refused permission for planes to operate on Saturday afternoons It granted LCY permission to operate more planes early mornings and up annual passenger from 6.5 million to 9 million.

A timely report aimed at influencing Government thinking.

Today's Times reports ministers will allow councils to create further low-traffic neighbourhoods, reversing Conservative plans for a clampdown. But Transport Sec Louise Haigh did say LTNs should have 'community support' but didn't define what that means. All very concerning.

My piece in today's Times: "Louise Haigh needs to think bigger than LTNs. She needs to look beyond the relatively small and pretty incestuous LTN lobby which tends to commission its own research to try and justify its favoured schemes".

Good letter in today's Times following yesterday's LTN pieces from Jonathan Fowles

The heart has been ript from Walworth Road, with the loss of an institution that survived two world wars, a Great Depression & multiple economic downturns. But the negative force of #ReducedAccess policies propounded by local car-owning #ActiveTravel advocates proved too great.

Dr Sally Watson Absolutely. Here’s what’s happening in Hackney, where Council didn’t care about multiple consultations showing large majority opposition against LTNs. And they still don’t care about those living on residential main roads. Time for government to intervene.

The Battersea Fanzone isn’t accessible for blind people because it is served by inaccessible bus stops. Blind people can neither hear nor see cyclists. 60% of cyclists fail to slow down let alone stop for passengers using these stops! Marsha de Cordova Florence Eshalomi MP Meg Hillier

Congestion is a real problem for people who live, walk, wait for buses, cycle, shop, work, learn & play on congested community roads & Red Routes. Traffic congestion & pollution are made worse by LTN traffic relocation schemes championed by... wait for it... Possible. 👇👇

We are asking for support to take Lambeth Council to a Judicial Review for failing to properly consult and work with residents on the forthcoming LTN. gofund.me/d22719b1

Just a brilliant, if sad example, of why we need better transport. Campaign for Better Transport thanks Tom for this appraisal of what should be a simple journey.

Why not spend that £1M on housing or main road improvements?

On Thursday the entire London Assembly unanimously supported a motion calling for a FULLY INDEPENDENT review of bus stop bypasses! Clearly @WillNorman and TfL marking their own homework wasn’t convincing!

Reminder about donating for the ltn legal case in west Dulwich to hold Lambeth accountable to listening and consulting residents properly. Not the “we know best” approach. gofund.me/0eaaaa73
