Those lobbying for cycle lanes on busy polluted community main roads are the same people lobbying for LTNs that increase traffic, congestion & emissions on polluted community main roads.

Worst still, City Hall & Labour councils allow cycle lobbyists to define transport policy.

Irony not lost here that Cllr Williams supports the Dulwich LTNs which has seen traffic increases on boundary roads of 35% and even roads inside the LTN of 35% (both compared to pre-LTNs).

How does that reduce air pollution or improve air quality?

This is interesting and shows what one instinctively feels to be right: that councils with scant / ineffective opposition perform badly, like Southwark Council & Lambeth Council (who find themselves very low down the list). Croxted Clean Air too Clean Air For All Dulwich

It’s clear, even a small increase to traffic on already congested Red Routes can result in total gridlock. 👇🏾

This issue of floating bus stops is simply not going to go away....

This suggests councils deliberately changed counter settings to omit vehicles stuck in start-stop-idling traffic created by their LTNs. 👇

A desperate act by councils hiding the truth that LTNs increase traffic, congestion & emissions on our community main roads & Red Routes.

The debate in Parliament on low traffic neighbourhoods: Mon 20 May at 4.30pm

It will be introduced by Battersea MP Marsha de Cordova

There are two nurseries on Croxted Rd and one on East Dulwich Grove.
Croxted Rd suffers such bad congestion from the Dulwich LTNs it can take the no 3 bus 30 mins to travel only 500m.
EDG has seen a 35% increase in traffic compared to pre-LTNs.
Why do Mums for Lungs support LTNs?

Croxted Clean Air too Shimano Steve Rosendale Clean Air (((Rezina))) 🌹🐝 West Dulwich Labour Helen Hayes 💙🌹 James McAsh Margy Newens 🌹 Bridget Dulwich Village ranges around 500-600 cars between 8-9am (that's with northbound closed) outside Dulwich Infants and Dulwich Hamlet.
EDG averages 1000 cars at this time by JAGS/Alleyn's/Charter.
Croxted averages around 7-800 outside 2 nurseries.

Dulwich is broken from the LTNs.

Sadly, there are individuals, groups & organisations using air pollution and climate change to progress their own agenda. They use the suffering of the most vulnerable to gain support for schemes like LTNs that worsens the status quo for those already most at risk. #deplorable

Moreover, not only were people not warned about the effects, they were told that in a matter of months the traffic - and by implication negative health consequences - would evaporate. None of that happened. Guy's and St Thomas' Healthy Streets Scorecard Impact on Urban Health Chris Francis Croxted Clean Air too James McAsh

Southwark intentionally routed hundreds of *extra* vehicles through this junction to try to make the Dulwich LTNs work. By closing DV to through traffic during rush hour, vehicles have no choice but to use this route or Lordship Lane. There is no solving this with an LTN.

For the record this schemes is the brainchild of England’s Cycling Czar, former racing cyclist, Chris Boardman and England’s foremost bike lane designer.

George Monbiot George, why have you ignored the obvious social, racial & environmental injustice of exporting traffic from roads with high car ownership onto community roads where poor people & people of colour are more likely to live, walk, shop, work, learn & play? 😢

Please come and see this. And CROXTED. It’s horrible for families here. Horrible. Dangerous and unfair. Plans for CROXTED? Tom Violins

The cllr for Dulwich Village won't admit that his LTN designs have, in fact, moved traffic from one road to another.
East Dulwich Grove traffic has increased 35% compared to pre-LTNs.
We're happy to remind him.

This is such an accurate assessment of the LTN experiment in Dulwich.
If you live on Calton Avenue you might think the LTN is great.
If you live on Croxted or go to one of the 4 schools on East Dulwich Grove where traffic is up 35%, not so much.

The children who need the most protection live on main rds. @mumsforlungs advocates for LTNs that force those kids to shoulder an even greater pollution burden.
