HACKNEY: FUCKWITZ CENTRAL

SOMEHOW…

Zoe Garbett and Dylan Law have been voted in as Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Hackney.

From Zoe’s hairdo you are going to instantly know she is a Green Candidate.

From Dylan’s plan to force private landlords to top rents at £600 a month for two bed apartments you know he’s a moron.

And a Green candidate.

Somehow these two social outcasts, riding the anti Labour and Anti Semite Green Agenda, got enough votes to rule over Hackney like a couple of Comedy Clowns on Crack:

Promote Palestine and Hamas while ignoring all other local issues.

Read this gem from Dylan Lawless:

“I’m glad that when people speak to me, they have optimism in the party, but I don’t necessarily want that – I want people to have confidence… confidence in themselves, but also confidence in me that I can do exactly what I’m saying I’m going to do.”

If you got to the end of that verbal diarrhoea without ordering a ticket out of the UK ASAP.

I SALUTE YOUR FORTITUDE

Hackney, you Voted Green

Now Go Live Green

OUCH

Yesterday Sadiq Khan had the brass neck to accuse every one of spreading misinformation about crime in London.

This is the reality 👇

"..even in the best of times, LTNs take months to bed in, months.." Simon Munk, LCC spokesperson, Jan 2021.
Almost five years later and LTNs have not only failed to 'bed in', TfL funded research confirms that LTNs do NOT reduce car use!! @ediz1975 @TheFox89688362 @SocEnvJustice

Southgate SNT have organised a number of Community Engagement days. Would you like to meet the mounted branch? The Dog Unit?

The next one is on Thursday 14th August between 1pm and 5pm in Broomfield Park.

Blind people are losing their right to independent travel by bus because of people like Simon, employed by the @London_cycling campaign, who come up with tweets like this. What is he on?

High Court Quashes West Dulwich LTN With Immediate Effect – Lambeth
Denied Right to Appeal and Now Faces Questions Over £1m in Fines
London, UK – The High Court has issued a landmark Order, immediately quashing the West
Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN), denying Lambeth Council permission to appeal,
and requiring the Council to pay £35,000 towards the legal costs incurred by the West
Dulwich Action Group (WDAG).
The ruling opens the door to serious questions about the £1,080,580 at the last count in
fines issued to residents and motorists since the scheme was introduced — money raised
under what the Court has now declared to be unlawful.
This marks the first time local residents and businesses have successfully overturned an
LTN through the High Court, setting a powerful precedent and raising significant implications
for councils across the UK.

London’s transport prices are now the highest in the world. TFL’s ticket prices will rise from today, making London’s Tube network the most expensive public transport system across the globe. https://t.co/g7uBN7OquQ

So much for #CleanAirNight in/around Lambeth’s LTNs where @lambeth_council pander to NIMBYs who burn wood for kicks, and are happy to ‘drive the long way round’ on their neighbours’ roads, as long as their roads they live on are blocked to through traffic. @SocEnvJustice

[Archie Smith @ArchieSmithSays]

@JourneysPlaces So……. combined with the works on the corner of Maidstone Road & Warwick Road, that’s over £500,000 of greenwashing nonsense finally completed for maximum virtue-signalling impact.

Yes folks - over HALF A MILLION POUNDS of taxpayer cash with virtually no discernible benefit 🙌🏻

[The UK LTN Résistance @ioisours]

Just remember folks they spent £25 M on #LTNs no one wanted. They tripled parking charges, and increased council tax and reduced rubbish collections and other services like other corrupt councils.

Follow the money - it isn't spent on citizens of the borough.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

But, yet again, an LTN has been made permanent despite a clear counter productive impact, which has been hidden through a concerted effort to distort, disguise and hide the actual evidence.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

Overall, Haringey's evidence shows that in Bounds Green the LTN has failed on every meaningful measure. To hide this they’ve played with averages generalised across multiple LTNs, cherrypicked data, distorted the chronology, and misrepresented negative impact.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

All of which explains the increased unpopularity of the LTN amongst all surveyed (public, business, carers, disabled people), a fact not acknowledged in any publicity. Note the figures on congestion in particular, which expose the ignorance / dishonesty of c18% respondants.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

4c. Like so many Boundary Roads, the ones in the table above have high density housing, schools, bus stops and parks. All more polluted, thanks to quiter streets for car owners / drivers in relatively affluent housing.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

4b. Worse, BG LTN was introduced after Enfield's Bowes LTN, so Nov 21 as a starting point hides the fact that traffic had increased traffic by 10% in the previous year. The overall figure for LTN increase on Durnsford Road is 22%. And it's clearly not ‘falling back’.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

4. Boundary roads – the location of high density housing, parks, schools, buses etc have seen continual growth. The Council report describes this as minimal – the data below exposes the lie.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

3. Serious collisions and serious casualties have increased significantly – if we employ the Council’s habit of using % change, and averaging the total across all roads, the data shows that since the LTN serious collisions are UP 60% and serious casualties are UP 33%.

[boundsandbowesvoice @BBvoice4all]

2. Air Quality has deteriorated because of the LTN, as measured by two different methodologies, the first (Systra, p71) comparing to averages across the borough, and the second (Imperial, p7) seeking to measure the direct and specific impact of the LTN.
