Over half (56%) of NewcastleCityCouncil's streets don't allow through-traffic.

No one complains about these streets.

LTNs aren't the problem. Change is the problem.

⬇️👏🧐 NewcastleCityCouncil

For comparison (yes it's a smaller area) Newcastle has 2, with a further 2 under consultation and no new school streets for over a year (Feb 2023).

Newcastle people!

Join us next week Farrell Centre for this emergency City Forum asking why Low Traffic Neighbourhoods #LTNs are being removed in Newcastle and what their future is in our city.

You know what people?

It's only forecast to be DRY tomorrow!

One day you'll tell your grandkids about that time you went out on your bike and it didn't't rain 😂

An event not to be missed!

Friday 6.30pm Civic Centre 🚲
Everyone welcome!

Stay safe folks of Newcastle! Exceptional flooding out there. Duke Moor Garage area by the Town Moor completely blocked and whole area around Moor bad. Never seen so many seagulls on the Moor! North East Live Traffic

And the Brandling Park subway.

Another of Newcastle's low traffic neighbourhoods to be axed. NewcastleCityCouncil confirms that its Heaton LTN will not be made permanent when its 18-month trial expires on April 23.

This Friday! 6.30pm outside the Civic Centre.

Light nights!

See you there 🚲🚲🚲

This is another scheme that it appears will be allowed to expire.

Any future scheme will be dependent on finding a mythical design that makes everyone happy, the political will, funding being available.

The time to act is now. We've declared a Climate Emergency.

Sally Watson Simon Munk Phyll Buchanan Leo Murray @[email protected] NewcastleCityCouncil Residents have been asking for something to be done since 1975.

The Council tried speed humps, but didn't put them on the adjacent street, which is a Strategic Cycle Route, so ended up pushing more traffic down there.

This is the first meaningful intervention in decades.

Rumour has it that NewcastleCityCouncil may remove the successful Heaton LTN trial at the end of the month.

Of course 🙄
