The Tower Hamlets Citizen

Loving the local community and the citizens that make Tower Hamlets uniquely East End. Let's build a sustainable and fair community for all.

Couldn't agree more with this Editorial. Bring more power down to the people and reform our electoral system. It's better for the country and gives all communities a voice https://t.co/8tlX1EORiz

Agree, clogged roads are doing more to prevent emergency services getting through than a low traffic neighbourhood ever will. And police, ambulance, fire services can go thru a bus gate no problem #bow #LTNs

[Charlotte Davies @cvfdavies]

And on and on it goes. In this episode of St Stephen's, Tredegar and Coborn Road fun, the police can't get through and have to turn round. At the very least some kind of 1 way system on this part of Tredegar is needed.

Worth re-reading this article. Key point: ‘Driving on residential streets remained stable in London between 1994 and 2008. From 2009 onwards, however, motoring on such roads almost doubled from 5.5bn vehicle miles to nearly 9.5bn in 2019.’ https://t.co/xTaF7zqxbB

For anyone wondering why we support measures to make our streets and neighbourhoods more liveable... this is why.

I can't believe that wanting to give kids free school meals during holidays in the middle of a pandemic requires a resignation #foodpoverty

[Better Streets for Tower Hamlets @BetterStreetsTH]

Yet another poll showing how popular low-traffic neighbourhoods are. There may be a degree of noisy opposition to start, but ultimately they work and people like them. Let's do better than some boroughs and not water down any plans in Tower Hamlets.

Most people agree with Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, but some wish that residents could drive through the filters. We've put together a short summary of why this sadly doesn't work. We can't have our cake and eat it: we've gotta choose a path for the future. https://t.co/1jU83cuJr1

Thanks so much @Tonypmc - inspiring stuff. CLT’s needed now more than ever - especially in @TowerHamletsNow - @CalumDGreen @Dave___Smith @LondonCLT @TH_Citizen @Citizenregan @createstreets

[MattBetterBow @BowBetter]

Beeping and frustration on Coborn and Tredegar this evening. With cars parked either side of Tredegar, there just wasn't enough space for two drivers to pass each other.
Bow's roads weren't built for this level of motor traffic.
Let's not keep digging ourselves into this hole.

@LondonYGs @thgreenparty In a post-pandemic world, #UniversalBasicIncome will be more important than ever to build resilient communities

[Lambeth Living Streets wants streets safe for all @LambethLivingSt]

Pissed off about LTNs? Wish things could just go back to the way they were?

Well we hope you're directing that anger towards the big tech companies like Google and Waze because if it weren't for them, we might not have even needed LTNs in the first place.

Here's why...

[The Tower Hamlets Citizen @TH_Citizen]

@RobDay95 UK public debt hit a milestone today at £2tn. We desperately need a Green New Deal for investment in green jobs and technology to #buildbackbetter rather than these white elephant projects of the 20th century. I believe the Green Party has the right vision and answers 💚
