We support Hackney's permanent low traffic neighbourhood in London Fields and Haggerston, & we want LTNs borough-wide, London-wide and elsewhere in the UK.

LAST DAY to input into Chatsworth Rd consultation! After a long delay following promises made 2+ years ago, this scheme is a watering down of the council's previously stated ambitions to extend the coverage of low traffic neighbourhoods across the borough. consultation.hackney.gov.uk/…

Queensbridge Road, day 3 - lots of workers and machinery for the resurfacing between Pownall & Middleton Roads.

Note that the Lansdowne Drive, Middleton Road & Lee Street bus gates are all suspended today and for a short period. With all the cars re-routed, this is an apt reminder of the car sewer London Fields used to be. Grateful this is only for a short time!

Not just a car sewer today, but drivers travelling at speeds far too fast on Lansdowne, Middleton and Richmond Roads. Kids walking to school and still they speed. The level of driver entitlement is off the scale.

Although a smoking ban outside schools is a positive thing, the real culprit which goes unhindered and unenforced is idling cars. This is a serious issue

In a rare outing for our opinion site, I’ve written about why councils seeking to ban bikes from city centres due to delivery bikes are treating it as a “cycling problem” when it’s actually a law enforcement problem - these are mainly electric mopeds. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Speeding delivery e-bikes are a menace – but the solution isn't to push all cyclists into the road...

Birmingham’s plan to ban bikes from pedestrianised streets ignores the real problem of food couriers’ illegally souped-up cycles, writes Peter Walker, the Guardian’s acting deputy political editor

This used to be a dead-end street mainly used as a place to store large items of private property in a public space. It's sooooo much better as a pocket park!

This is just embarrassing @hackneycouncil @SarahWoodberryD for all the reasons written in the replies & many more. What benefit is there widening already-wide pavements, not putting in cycle track & claiming it's "play-friendly" on a busy road with no traffic reduction? 😔

Good news for London Fields LTN - progress is being made at the eastern end of Richmond Road. The bus gate will soon feature permanent Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), rather than the temporary wooden planter boxes. 👍
