Fentiman Road in Lambeth's Oval LTN has been absolutely transformed. New planting & SUDS, seating, bike parking. Looks fantastic.
Great work @lambeth_council @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland
Short thread: The 2021 Census data on car/van availability by household in England & Wales is finally out. Good news: Lambeth (my area) and London continue significantly to buck a national trend of falls in no-car households. https://t.co/6yqZUQ0iJQ)
Archive photos of criminal damage to @TulseHillLTN illustrating this great piece by @GeorgeMonbiot on the way #LTNs liberate our streets & neighbourhoods
Spoiler alert: in much of Lambeth #activetravel is winning. Still a lot more to do here & elsewhere

So many exciting proposals from @lambeth_council
as to how to make the now permanent Oval to Stockwell #LTN work even better for all!
At first glance they look amazing.
It's consultation time so please send your feedback via https://t.co/OEMLGwZds3
Looks like the family of permanent Lambeth #LTNs is going to get even bigger!
Well done, @TulseHillLTN & @StreathamLTN, our siblings & old friends
Congratulations. It will be great to have you on board!
Love from @SaveOvalStreets (and @RailtonLTN) 😘

We just lived through the long promised ‘earthquake’ in the form of council elections here in Lambeth.
It was……underwhelming
The only loud anti-LTN councillor lost his seat
Congratulations to the @LambethLabour winners in Oval ward, including @clairekholland
Still waiting for that anti-LTN backlash that we were promised.......
A new era begins for Richborne Terrace, at the junction with the A3 Clapham Road.
(Reminder that traffic on the A3 went down during the monitoring for the Oval to Stockwell #LTN, now made permanent).
Pleased the courts have once more found in our favour on LTNs.
Tackling structural inequities on our streets & in our neighbourhoods has always been at the heart of our work to make streets safer, healthier & fairer.
We’ll continue to work with residents to deliver this agenda.
Good morning from the Oval to Stockwell #LTN
It’s permanently in place now - hooray! - and the planters at the junction of Richborne Terrace and the A3 Clapham Road are being built out….
Spring is coming!
☀️🚲🚶♀️🚶🏽♂️🧑🦽🌞😎🌸🌷🌻🌼🌹
‘Biggest road safety gains in Lambeth for a generation’
And ushering in a whole new era of active travel and more sustainable transport for our neighbourhoods!
1/6 Today, nearly everyone's council tax bills will rise by 2.9%.
If average parking charges had risen from just 42p to 59p per day then council tax could have been frozen - same revenue, £4m.
We ask councillors to freeze taxes for everyone next year & charge parking fairly...
If you haven't already, then please fill out the consultation for the Ferndale LTN (btwn Brixton and Clapham) today and tell Lambeth what safer and quieter streets mean to you
Q5 through the Oval to Stockwell #LTN has been 'rebranded' (ie given a lick of new paint) as C5.
Photo on the left is today.
Photo on the right is what the same junction used to look like during the weekday rush hour (when we shared our neighbourhood with 8,000 cars a day).
