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.

Look on the bright side, it’s not because idiots set fire to the planters on day 1 and made threats against councillors #MilkstoneAndDeeplish

What’s true in London will be true in our other towns and cities. The benefits of #ActiveNeighbourhoods are becoming overwhelming, and we need action, and now. Reinstate the #MilkstoneAndDeeplish trial.

NEW: Big study of low-traffic neighbourhoods in London suggest they cut road injuries and deaths by more than a third within their boundaries with no apparent negative safety effect on nearby roads. This feels a *major* boost for proponents of such schemes.

Exclusive: Study also finds no change in number of casualties on roads just outside low-traffic neighbourhoods

Not aware of any scheme since #MilkstoneAndDeeplish was abandoned.
Could argue that the #HopwoodTriangle is a mini-LTN?

We are shocked and appalled to learn of this child’s death.
This demonstrates that residential streets are not suitable for through traffic, & @rochdalecouncil.bsky.social has a responsibility to ensure #MilkstoneAndDeeplish gets the measures it deserves to reduce this, & now.

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.

It’s exhausting. Such a waste of officer time, money, consultation etc for the trial to be pulled because, as far as we can see, a councillor panics.
Given the history of #MilkstoneAndDeeplish, the A671 scheme being seriously downgraded and now this you’d have to wonder if there‘s any point trying?

Why? Aside from the direct benefits to those living in the scheme, especially children & the elderly, the #MilkstoneAndDeeplish LTN would have filled the gap between #Phase2 of the Beeline & the #A671 improvements, & would have improved walking & cycling access to the station @walkridegm.org.uk
