Timed restrictions are part of the Healthy Streets toolkit, TfL's Liveable Neighbourhoods, and the Department of Transport's statutory guidance for network management in response to COVID-19 (both school streets, and pedestrian and cycle zones).
Shame on you @lb_southwark . Your phase 3 “consultation” on the Dulwich Village junction re-design ignores public feedback on phase 2 – still no access for key workers or those with disabilities, and traffic still displaced on to boundary roads. See https://t.co/HwPiFpO5Az
Dulwich LTN: Southwark defends confusing signs. No one visits people living east of the junction, apparently – not even carers or essential services. The roads are just ‘dead ends’ @lb_southwark@DulwichCleanAir@AirCroxted@east_grove@AgeSpeakDulwich

A council fixed on a road scheme that damages local business, threatens the health of mothers and babies, and harms vulnerable local people, both young and old, has seriously lost its way @kieronjwilliams @RoseCllr@margynewens@RM_Leeming@Jasmine_Ali

This case is about far more than LTNs - it’s about a loophole which allow councils to ignore their public sector equality duty. That’s why it has to go to the Supreme Court. It’s not just for @VinylSofa, and it isn’t about drivers in Lambeth, it’s to protect all disabled people.
@_tiils @CleanAirDulwich Have a look at the TfL map of PTAL ratings (1 to 6) here. Parts of the Dulwich area level 3, but a lot level 1 to 2 https://t.co/wdzGnVobRl
1/4 (A thread for @CleanAirDulwich) 24/7 closures in Dulwich – which has poor public transport, and already had 68% of locals making short journeys by walking and cycling before the road measures went in – don’t work.
4/4 We want a better and fairer scheme in Dulwich that works for everyone – all people, all ages – and not just the lucky few on closed roads. Why can't we work together on this @CleanAirDulwich? Division achieves nothing. Over to you. Still happy to talk when you are.
3/4 To protect children at school drop-off and pick-up, a scheme based on timed restrictions instead of 24/7 closures could work. Also improved cycling infrastructure and safety for pedestrians. Public transport is key – if TfL won’t help, why not a community-funded bus network?
