Earls Court History

#LTNs HAVE INCREASED AIR POLLUTION ON MAIN ROADS #Lambeth council and other councils introduced #LTNs in 2020 during the Covid pandemic using 'social distancing' as an excuse. #Lambeth council close multiple side roads using with #LTNs pushing more traffic onto #BrixtonRoad which was already quite polluted. Like many other councils, they also flouted democracy and continued with LTNs despite majority objecting or flooded surveys with cycle lobby responses. #Brixton road has consistently been above legal limits of NO2 which have worsened since the #LTNs were introduced - see @LondonAir map and info below. #Lambeth council wishes to introduce MORE #LTNs either side of Brixton road (north of map below) causing yet more congestion and pollution as this resident points out. This will further the health ineqity in the capital. This will make jouney times longer for bus users as shown by @ediz1975 This will hurt local businesses. This will result in working people who rely on motorised vehicles for work e.g. delivery drivers and other having to take longer routes causing more pollution. This will not increase cycling or reduce car ownership. @LittleNinjaUK @SocEnvJustice @JohnJohnStewart @ShimanoSteve @Togetherdec Declare Covid LTNs illegal. @Mark_J_Harper @TimBr1ggs @RishiSunak @transportgovuk

#LTNs havn't helped have they? Closing every alternative route and side road so wealthy NIMBYs can have their white wealthy 'villages' havn't worked have they? Removing road space capacity and alternate routes has been a disaster hasn't it @UKLabour @lambeth_council @TfL What a bunch of utter dimwits Open the roads and give the public back the money you stole through illegal LTN fines you utter vermin.

#LTN shambles by #Lambeth #Labour What a mess @UKLabour what a bunch of dimwits. You were warned. You were told but you couldn't possibly go against your odd cult narrative from Living Streets and cycle lobby psychopaths.

Well Lambeth and Wanswortg #Labour #ActiveTravel councils have worked wonders today blocking off side roads and putting useless cycle lanes in bus lanes so buses cannot move. Burst water main No Northern line PLUS #LTNs, 'wands' and selfish NIMBYs .... Results in LACK OF ROAD SPACE REDUNDANCY - traffic chaos on A roads, buses stuck, increased pollution and cogestion for all the residents and commuters. Why aren't these Cllrs in jail? No one voted for this. They acted like dictators and did it anyway. This nonsense is actively destroying cities @Mark_J_Harper @michaelgove @RishiSunak

More social cleansing #LTNs from @lambeth_council and their friend @MayorofLondon and cycle lobby @tfl #Lambeth @KwajoHousing @michaelgove Appalling @transportgovuk @RishiSunak @Mark_J_Harper A resident gives his view on how this will push even more traffic and pollution onto Brixton road, the most polluted road in London, already killed by several #LTNs either side @LittleNinjaUK
