[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@Petersbrooking @indieHackney @roozie52 @cristo_radio @ZackPolanski @SocEnvJustice @VincentStops @JSLondonLDR @andrewellson @HackneyLabour @hackneygreens @standardnews You’re being (deliberately?) obtuse.

These busses are delayed because of congestion inducing LTNs and bus-gates.

But if you had any local knowledge you would have known that already.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@BobFromAccounts @llorndar @BenNutcab Why aren’t you on board with cycling country number one, where handling a phone while riding a bicycle is a punishable offence?

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@BobFromAccounts Except, infrastructure, lies at the heart of the problem.

In boroughs like Hackney, traffic volumes have decreased for decades but counterproductive measures like LTNs and bus-gates are now causing unprecedented congestion.

Where is the ‘evaporation’ we were promised?

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@BobFromAccounts Whatever anyone’s opinion on this pedestrianisation, saying ‘it takes more’ sounds like a reasonable premise.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@Toothache01 @JoannaBiddolph I didn’t say researchers are hiding data, although they may or may not.

They certainly use averages that obscure (read hide) increases of traffic.

[John Stewart @JohnJohnStewart]

Lambeth Council's own report has found the West Dulwich LTN resulted in “no significant traffic reduction” but increased congestion on boundary roads.

The courts found that the Council had acted illegally when installing it & ordered its removal.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@Toothache01 @JoannaBiddolph So that’s the vast majority of traffic being displaced.
The averages being used by researchers like Aldred et al and other LTN campaigners (and by you) are designed to hide this displacement.
It’s time the public sees the real picture.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@BobFromAccounts Main roads in inner London are virtually all residential roads.

These are the roads already burdened with much more traffic, including PT and
HGVs but also pedestrians and cyclists.

Your favoured schemes like LTNs move even more traffic there.

‘Main’ road residents matter.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@BobFromAccounts @LondiniumPleb No those photos don’t help, they don’t show the whole picture.
Only the North side of Trafalgar Square is pedestrianised.
Cars and other traffic are still on the square.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@420ben69 @MarkEDenton @BobFromAccounts Ah yes, collateral damage.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 This shows who’s the real perpetrator of personal attacks/insults.
Just a small selection of your near continuous derogatory language. 👇
Time to mute. Goodbye.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

Bob lives in Hackney.
Bob lives in an LTN.
Bob doesn’t care about his neighbours outside the LTNs.
Don’t be like Bob.

[Bob From Accounts 🚲 @BobFromAccounts]

Tom lives in London. Tom drives to the supermarket for a ‘big shop’. Don’t be like Tom. Get it delivered or shop local; there's no need to add to the congestion and then have the nerve to complain about ‘traffic’.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 You misinformed about what an LTN is.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 No. Voting was clearly on national issues.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 That doesn’t negate what I said.
Besides, 65% ‘voted’ against LTNs in most LTNs’ consultations.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 Hackney residents know very well what an LTN is.
We experience the added traffic and pollution as a result of them now for over 6 years.
They were ‘sold’ to us as by Council as a measure to encourage walking and cycling and getting ppl out of their cars.
Don’t misinform, David

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 1. Virtually all ‘main’ roads in inner London are residential roads.
2. LTNs are not getting ppl out of their cars.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@MikeyCycling @excelonman That’s a different issue. Your claim was that cyclists are more law abiding than drivers.
What is that based on?

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 Just noticed your personal attack.
Confirming you’re the one without arguments.

[Hackney Together @TogetherHackney]

@DavidHu05137188 I agree with traffic calming, and restricting motor traffic.
However, LTNs benefit some residents at the expense of others.
Divisive indeed.
And before you continue being borderline abusive, this is not about ppl wanting to drive.
