On your tea-break take a look at this from Ediz . Beautifully sums up why LTNs are not working:

People selling their cars? Don't think so
Less driving? Not likely
Rising house prices? Very likely

Even Rachel Aldred has struggled to find more than 'limited' modal shift.

As a cyclist who has never owned a car and transports his children daily by cargo bike, I share the hashtag .

As a bus user, pedestrian and believer in social & environmental justice, I'm appalled at the selfish actions of some cycling groups. 👇🏾

Louise Krupski are you saying families who live on/up to 500m from the S Circular support the terrible LTN in Lee Green? As my councillor you are not interested how it impacts red route communities like ours. Exposure to air pollution isn’t about surveys but inequality in health

Whatever your view of road user charging, Sadiq Khan's announcement to rule it out means he goes into the Election with no plans to tackle traffic volumes & congestion on main/busy rds, many of them made worse by traffic relocated from LTNs thetimes.co.uk/article/no-roa…

If one wants to learn the effectiveness of LTNs look at hospital admissions for respiratory illnesses near/on boundary rds where traffic has been diverted. Are there less cars due to LTNs? No! look at red routes where the less affluent are. Where do majority of asthmatics reside?

I am resolved not to always rant about Oxford transport here.

But, there is one lesson that the the UK needs to learn from Oxford.

If your policy makes public transport worse it has clearly failed,

Public transport is our one hope for replaceing car miles.

Every so often politicians blame those on benefits for the country’s financial woes

They’re an easy and vulnerable target

I see patients on benefits, believe me when I say most want nothing more than to be free from pain, depression, illness, disability and to live and work

Social Environmental Justice A bit of nuance needed here. Sunak just conflates everything. It's wedge politics, so treat with care, best to avoid. Me? I'm pro-ULEZ tho' it was poorly implemented; LTNs - I'm against most, they just displace traffic; 20mph on most urban roads - I strongly support.

Urge anyone who uses Croxted Road or can sympathise with congestion levels & road safety here to support this call for action.
