The real concern re ‘15 minute cities’ in the UK is that they are likely to be designed by the same (mainly white, male, middle class able bodied) people responsible for designing unjust LTN traffic diversion schemes, prioritising their own needs & wants over everyone else’s’.
NEW: The Department for Transport shifted to prioritising driving over cycling and walking in part due to worries about ‘15-minute cities’ based on conspiracy theories, documents seen by the Guardian show.

None of the 2020 socially divisive LTNs are fit for purpose - they push extra traffic onto residential roads; increase miles driven, negating any possible ‘evaporation’ ; cause misery for people with limited mobility who rely on cars and those who drive for their livelihoods

How lovely , what is the traffic like on roads around your tranquil idyl? Exactly who decides which residents get bushes and birdsong and which get terrible traffic?

When I highlighted (to an LTN supporter) the problems key workers and delivery drivers are having navigating their way around Brixton LTNs, he showed no empathy for this group of workers saying that it was a matter for them and their employers to sort out. He works from home.

Looks almost as good as the one on Railton Rd, Brixton.(a few yards from beautiful Brockwell Park) Hackney & Lambeth - so many social issues and yet they choose to spend huge amounts of public money on Boris-approved unjust LTNs & ‘parklets’. I despair.

I don’t even want to dignify that with a response but I will - I can assure you I only have one twitter account. You might want to check accounts for proLTN activists such as Simon Still who has/is running several accounts simultaneously.

You & your colleagues were so pleased to get into a car after your hard work you forgot that you pushed LTNs supposedly to reduce car use - shouldn’t you be setting an example and cycling/walking in all circumstances? Or perhaps LTNs are just private roads at taxpayers expense?

Watching

Cllrs (esp
@RezinaChowdhury
) deflect and avoid answering questions about the adverse impact of LTNs is just like watching the Tories in HOP dodging responsibility for austerity etc. A sad state of affairs.

What did yr QC say in court about opening LTNs in emergencies? Traffic chaos today at Coldharbour Lane with 2 x huge water leaks & bridge-end of S’peare N completely blocked by roadworks for your LTN vanity project.

ALL roads in London are residential, no? The Sat Nav theory used to support NIMBY unjust traffic relocation schemes was debunked a couple of years ago. Keep up.

ProLTN advocates just don’t get that for a lot of people, life is extremely difficult and complex. Or that LTNs are a blunt instrument which have compounded the misery of the pandemic for so many.

So shocking that there are so many people who are prepared to believe the ‘LTNs are good’ mantra from councils/activists, ignoring the bad science/lies behind them & suffering of their neighbours, in order to retain the privilege of ‘no through roads’ to live on. Whatever next?

@RezinaChowdhury
get away with ignoring serious concerns re unjust LTN traffic relocation schemes who knows what they will do next We need cllrs to stand up for the many poorer/disadvantaged people adversely impacted by LTNs
Lambeth council on LTNs: NO air monitors, NO meetings with schools, NO public meetings, NO zoom meetings., NO replies from the LTN dept or councillors. Is this what you call ‘good consultations’ ?

Greenwashing unjust LTNs are a Gilligan/Johnson project championed by ‘me, me, me’ NIMBYS and PB chasing cyclists, facilitated by mainly Labour Cllrs, who should know better.
