Dulwich Village is part of the timed restrictions inside the Dulwich LTN.

We were told this would encourage cycling.

These are the latest Southwark cycling figures.

Traffic is up 15%, which means more pollution and more congestion on this road.

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

I am visiting businesses on Balham High Road to discuss the A24 Streetspace scheme.

It is great to bring @TFL so they can listen to the views of the businesses affected.

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

Melbourne Grove Market is finally is a go today, after delayed start due to the Queen’s passing. It’s put on by social enterprise Citizens Art. Expect lots of art stalls this week and great creative pieces. Pop down and help make it a success!

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

Same in the Dulwich Village LTNs. Nearly all businesses oppose the system because they are losing customers.

@James20230703 No need! TfL didn't crumble under the pressure Southwark tried to exert on them to not publish.

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 do pro-LTN supporters justify this on a road with three schools, playing fields, a nursery, a medical centre and *people's homes*?

This is displacement, with no evaporation.
This is increased pollution, not lowering carbon emissions.
This is all to keep a few roads closed.

Businesses on MGN in particular have been treated appallingly. Really worried that if bus lanes become 24/7 on Lordship Lane all destination businesses will no longer survive. Cllrs have all demonstrated they don't care for our businesses here, they won't treat LL any better.

Dulwich Village now on a weekend. A congested and polluted road with lines of traffic from the junction of East Dulwich Grove all the way back to the roundabout in Dulwich Village.

And yet the Labour candidates will tell you LTNs fight climate change and lower emissions...

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
