Have to say I'm impressed how quickly, after two instances of reporting potholes in Bow area, @TowerHamletsNow had them filled within 2 days of each report via website. Cheers! ππ»
@Dan_Bromley_N @PoplarHARCA And I don't mean the supermarket that's taken out the lease on old post office. It doesn't sell a decent range of foods like frozen meat, fresh veg and fruit etc Hopefully it will improve but currently very culturally defined.... βΉπ€·π»ββοΏ½οΏ½οΏ½
@Dan_Bromley_N @PoplarHARCA Yes Stroudley desperately needs investment! For liveable streets I'd suggest a supermarket being high on agenda...most people here drive to Tesco (A12) or Iceland in Roman or get it delivered. Would mean less vehicle pollution & more excersice as close-by for frequent use π€ΉπΌββοΈππ
@Nepomucene@Gavin_Drake@MeotraE3 Not true. Local residents don't all drive to work out of laziness....some of us have valid reasons for a car.. quite an ignorant comment to assume just becauze you can cycle that we all can?!
@iamthedans@MayorJohnBiggs Well I mean the idea of driving more to get to the same place would irritate anyone really...esp if the point is to reduce pollution...more driving and idling is the opposite to a solution here.
@helenthomas@TowerHamletsNow I'll just sell my car and put my two disabled kids on a bike shall I? Give up work because I can't actually get there on time so that's another benefits claim and local school without a teacher...think bigger Helen π You can't just blame cars because your lucky not to need 1.
@suntcognatimihi@awjre@TowerHamletsNow Some of the reasons It was suspended was due to resident feedback that it was causing more traffic delays = more pollution, more traffic on roads vehicles diverted to = more pollution & dangerous crossing between cars by pedestrians and young children = dirtier air than before.
@cvfdavies@christinebrowne@Nepomucene@MayorJohnBiggs@TowerHamletsNow Appreciate the need, similar outside mine but calming measures wont stop it..speed bumps already there they just swerve dangerously sideways to avoid damage to their cars π while blaring music & getting high. Policing is the solution but we dont have enough to make an impact π₯
@cvfdavies@christinebrowne@Nepomucene@MayorJohnBiggs The 'zooming' happens at night....not on #ratrun hours...the problem is anti social behaviour/ noise nuisance NOT people trying to do school runs and somehow magically get to work on time everyday...I've never managed to get down that road at more than 10mph on my #RatRun π
@rosamund_ElsFdn Agreed, however these plans only caused more pollution by making vehicles sit in traffic and take longer routes to get from same A to B. Understanding why people drive will bring cleaner air....forcing them will bring no change... #SchoolBusesNeeded
