Town Hall discount on Brownlow Road service charge leaves residents 'unimpressed' https://t.co/RAskBlaZDR via @hackneycitizen Hackney leasehold & freehold service are not great at demonstrating what people are paying for in charges or of removing outdated covenants & charges.
Well thought out piece. The LTNs serve urban owners of upmarket homes, most likely originally from the shires going on a weekend cycle ride with the family. People who really cycle as their main mode of transport funnily enough won’t be found cycling inside them.
High court ruling over #StreetspaceLDN could have major implications for the policy (which was devised in line with national government requirements, btw): https://t.co/1kdJ2DbcWR The whole approach has been too evangelical. Campaigners need to have a big rethink.
https://t.co/Kep1u5SWhq Brilliant article by keen cyclist & journalist Dave Hill on the very shaky assumptions that the government’s funding of LTNs is based on. Can they really be claimed to reduce pollution or discourage people from using cars? Highly questionable
Are you feeling unsure about vaccinations? Watch this interview with Dr Roger Banks, National Clinical Lead for Learning disability and Autism by Katie Matthews who has Down’s syndrome. Katie works with the NHS Health Improvement Team. https://t.co/tnBO8ypGTl
With mum’s mobility issues we would not have been able to get close enough to the surgery if they had not temporarily lifted the recently imposed road block for the vaccine programme.

Question - How long does it take for 6 cyclists to go through the bus stop bypass and 8 pedestrians to cross onto the bus stop island?
Be grateful for your answers below please.
@hasspacher@mayorofhackney Also some residents need to make short Car journeys. I am a cyclist but two of my family have disabilities which prevent them from being able to walk or cycle. This atrocious scheme pushes more traffic onto roads with public transport & schools including Queensbridge Road
@mayorofhackney We chose to live on Brownlow Road as it WAS low traffic. NOW turned into a RAT-RUN by this Crazy road scheme which forces traffic onto the few remaining, narrow residential Roads still open between Dalston & Mare St. You are making your residents lives hell!
@hasspacher@mayorofhackney I don’t agree. This scheme has been imposed on the community without proper modelling or consultation. As usual it’s the upmarket roads that are closed to traffic & those with council housing have to take on the burden of pollution & traffic
