Why can’t Southwark Labour take the views and impacts on small business more seriously like Marsha de Cordova MP The impacts are clear as day - talk to the 5 business closed or left our road since our LTN but still no one wants to address it? Martin Seaton Cllr Kieron Williams
Yet Southwark Council still claim they are closing roads to help with the climate emergency, when it is clear increased journey kms, at least 837Km a day from the ED LTN is counter productive in that regard, while damaging small businesses. CllrCatherineRose Martin Seaton Jason Ochere
The all too evident, evidence that LTNs do nothing for carbon emissions, in fact makes them worse, is stacking up. LOUISE PERRY reports on the creeping war against motorists dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… via Daily Mail Online
No surprise at all to us. Back in March we evidenced fr Southwark data that the ED LTN, had increased journey KMs by 837.8km a day. As Southwark never collected data on 3 other roads they closed for this scheme, it’s likely much higher. John Stewart CllrCatherineRose Clean Air For All Dulwich
Turney road closure will mean displacement onto busiest section of DV, Village Way, Pickwick etc. And of course there will be even more congestion on Croxted, Sth Circular. Poor scheme, harming more people than it helps. Croxted Clean Air too claire hitchcock East Dulwich Grove Residents
Yes! A market will be starting on Melbourne Grove this Sat 10th Sept. Business here had a tumultuous time since road closures Sept 20 devastated footfall. 2 years on, finally a positive. Please support the market & local businesses. Dulwich Hamlet FC ReopenDulwichVillage Martin Seaton
Andrew Ellson I wish I could say that’s a surprise. It’s a very British form of corruption. It shows how they’ve exploited Covid & abused emergency powers for their own gain. The absence of scrutiny through this whole sorry mess has shone a bright spotlight on the failings of local democracy.
Half Moon Lane has seen huge increases in HGV traffic since the LTNs were put in place. HGVs account for 18% of greenhouse gas emissions and 13% of NOx emissions for road transport in the UK according to the Dept for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy. Judith Kerr Primary

How I wish, instead of pursuing disastrous& divisive LTNs which have have marginal benefit & cause significant harm, @southwarklabour had had a laser focus on improving transport, access & pavements for disabled people. AgeSpeaksDulwich
