Fantastic Appeal Court win for @saveoursaferstreets.org, who have averted the threat to remove popular and effective #LowTrafficNeighbourhood schemes in Tower Hamlets (E London).
After 2+ years of legal battles, the Court of Appeal has ruled in our favour.
Tower Hamlets cannot lawfully remove our safer streets. A huge precedent for London.

It’s all the more disappointing that the TfGM-funded #LowTrafficNeighbourhood schemes largely failed, after opposition (sometimes including antisocial behaviour) from a shouty minority @walkridegm.org.uk
Either you're happy for people to be killed and injured to save you a couple of minutes on your journey, or you're not. The evidence that LTNs and 20mph zones save lives is overwhelming.

It’s a real shame that antisocial behaviour from an entitled few stymied the #MilkstoneAndDeeplish #LowTrafficNeighbourhood trial @walkridegm.org.uk
We can have lots of opinions, popular or otherwise! The fact is, even if there were zero cars parked on side streets, delivering cycling networks using cycle tracks on side streets rather than traffic management (LTNs) is bananas.

There’s a decent amount of anecdata that it’s a poor choice of wedge issue though, because people don’t care enough.
@samsterby.com will correct me here but locally a council pulled a #LowTrafficNeighbourhood trial out & the pro-filter candidate was the only one to increase vote share next LE.

Lovely thread celebrating the 5th anniversary of a #LowTrafficNeighbourhood, pointing out its benefits to road safety and independence of young people. When will a Greater Manchester council follow Oxford’s lead? @cycloxoxford.bsky.social @walkridegm.org.uk
Residents in East Oxford gathered yesterday to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the installation of the Cowley LTNs.
Installed during lockdown to facilitate active travel as a response to concerns over reduction of public transport use during the pandemic, the schemes started in March 2021.

Cycled through a #LowTrafficNeighbourhood in @Rochdalecouncil.bsky.social today.
Milkstone and Deeplish? No, the one round Spotland Primary and St Edmund’s church - which has modal filters and traffic restrictions like any other LTN, only they are years old.

It’s unfortunate that many #LowTrafficNeighbourhood schemes in Greater Manchester were watered down or abandoned.
We call on @rochdalecouncil.bsky.social to revisit the #MilkstoneAndDeeplish scheme, with the health, air quality and road safety benefits this would bring.

LTNs save lives. Lack of LTNs means lives lost, and lives and families damaged irreparably. Yet more evidence that LTNs are needed urgently in more of our city: www.standard.co.uk/comment/ltns...
You can't argue with the data - LTNs are officially saving lives
It’s a truth many struggle to accept, but in London cars have become killers.

The sad thing between that and the Rochdale #LowTrafficNeighbourhood is that, in GM, LTNs are now firmly in the 'too difficult' box.

This is true on this side of the Atlantic too. One day councillors will realise that the majority of the puce faced opponents of any #LowTrafficNeighbourhood scheme are often people who neither live nor vote in it @walkridegm.org.uk
I suspect this is common in most NYC neighborhoods. Due to their size and how much space we've given to them, it seems as if cars are being used by people for local trips. In reality, so much of the traffic that plagues our neighborhoods is cut-through, with no real benefit to anyone locally.

It’s pretty common for people to misinterpret the public mood (I think from reading the Mail/facebook comments)
Another example “I like this #LowTrafficNeighbourhood but the majority doesn’t” which is not the evidence.

It’s really hard to see how a quadrupling of cycling as a modal share in GM is going to happen by 2040 given all of this, especially as #LowTrafficNeighbourhood schemes have been abandoned as too difficult across the ten boroughs.

So much better to look at, live in & move around on foot/by bike.
Film doesn't include how local with cars were persuaded to accept this?
How deliveries, emergencies, disabled have been factored in?
I note it was referred to as a #HealthyNeighbourhood ✅

Nice to see the kids playing in the street and enjoying Trafford's annual LTN day (aka Manchester Marathon road closures).

Just found out our brand new Green councillors here in Newham want to abolish our LTN, so that’s fucking great

Traffic control in Victorian Fratton (Portsmouth, UK). No complaints here about a #LTN #lowtrafficneighbourhood that works excellently. It's been in place for probably 30 years or more.
