This is what #ReducedAccess leads to. It does what it says on the tin, across all modes.
It's worth remembering, when LTN advocates attack the High Street with both #ReducedAccess policies and messaging, they are straightforwardly arguing for a future of in-person shopping fully-designed around the car.
Not with minor accommodations, as with the High Street. Fully.

Hard to know what is happening behind the scenes in policy negotiations between the Council and M&S, where discussions will be turning on how far Southwark is prepared to compromise on its Walworth #ReducedAccess policies, the reason behind M&S’s departure. James McAsh Martin Seaton
Watch LTN Watch LTNs, CPZs and dynamic loading are all #ReducedAccess policies which have been applied to Walworth Road. CPZs since the '90s.
LTNs have been the last straw, with the closure of Liverpool Grove & Browning Street practically signalling to M&S that they should leave.
Here y'are:
It's *very rare* for independent candidates to emerge victorious based on a single issue, especially without having defected from a major party as an incumbent, so with no prior name recognition.
This shows the strength of feeling against #ReducedAccess High Street policies.
Online retail (the 'most sustainable format of retail', according to UK council transport plans) strikes again.
No judgment on the OP here, whose local pet shops have probably disappeared with other specialists just as they did in Camberwell, thanks to #ReducedAccess policies.
Cllr Rachel Bentley 🔶 Southwark Lib Dems Richard Wingfield 🔶 Also note the long-term policy of #ReducedAccess to small businesses, comprised of CPZs, LTNs & now dynamic loading such as on Walworth Road.

When are we going to leave the Pantomime behind, and talk about the hollowing out of our inner-cities, which means the creation of ghettos?
Look at what is happening to Walworth Road.

After major policy assault by council officers on the High Street, 33 constituencies no longer have a bank branch.

#ReducedAccess inner-city policies are doing tremendous damage across the UK, which must surely translate to UK GDP.
Not just in lost tax generated and lost productivity, but also in an increased local-authority welfare bill, possibly putting some LAs into administration.
What happens when council-owned parades become empty, due to unreasonable rent demands combined with #ReducedAccess policies like CPZs and LTNs, in terms of Michael Gove’s new law enabling local authorities to force a rent auction for empty shops?
What if the LA is the problem?
Pause for thought for #ReducedAccess campaigners, whose policies have over the decades led to the hollowing out of inner-cities and the normalisation of poverty & welfare traps.
Birth rates and conditions are inextricably linked led to household income & access to quality food.
Some #ReducedAccess advocates have indicated their pride in this No. 1 spot, but it is difficult to see the reason why.
#ReducedMobility is simply another example of inequity and low productivity, and in no way a pretext for an international brag.

Join my #ReducedAccess campaign to get Westgate car park closed, so we can finally prove it’s people not cars that shop, and we don’t need bookshops or clothes or hardware shops. 💪
Like Raskol’nikov, council officers must go to the public square/town hall meeting and loudly confess to being the primary instigators of the #HighStreetCrisis , through #ReducedAccess policies, ramped up for decades.
The emotional release will be therapeutic, even transcendent.
Martin Headon Peter Walker The fact that it is hard to visit Camberwell shapes everything here. It is one of the greatest victims of #ReducedAccess policies, seen in its diminished stature since being the capital of a metropolitan borough.
Cinemas, train stations, industry, banks, trams - constant loss.
This doesn't sound like a very meaningful longitudinal study, and misses the key period with many bookshops, clothing stores and specialists having closed permanently, following #ReducedAccess policies.
