We are Dulwich Village businesses, concerned at the damage being done to our community by Southwark Council’s badly planned traffic measures. #ReopenOurRoads
The cllr from Dulwich Village claims the FOI from the London fire brigade is wrong without providing any evidence.
We say to @lb_southwark@mcash: publish all the documents between Southwark and LFB today.
Show us.
Revolting of @rm_leeming to use Dr Darabi's horrific injury for political gain. It took place on an A-road, rds that are ever *more* dangerous thanks to LTN traffic displacement. Ppl object to his schemes because they elongate journey miles & emissions & increase main rd danger.
Dulwich Village cllr Richard Leeming:
"The idea that LTNs cause pollution is one of the great lies of our time."
⬇️ This is Croxted Rd.
🔴TfL says the Dulwich LTN is the root cause for the delays to the #3 bus on this road.
Is this congestion just pumping out fresh air, cllr?
Southwark plans to put in a CPZ zone on 4 roads in Dulwich Village ward, 3 of which all said NO in the consultation.
New CPZ zone:
EDG: 91% against
Townley Rd: 74% against
Calton Ave: 66% against
Gilkes: 77% for
Each consultation costs £40k+.
What a waste of money to not listen.
🗣️"The council will only proceed with a CPZ *if* there is a strong local demand."
We ask @margynewens if the consultation on the CPZ shows majority in your ward do not want one, will you stick by your words and support this decision and ensure that no CPZ is imposed?

🗣️"Southwark has only put CPZs where majority of residents are in favour."
Despite only 5 requests by residents in the last 3 years from the majority of roads inside DV ward, Southwark insisted on an expensive consultation to ask the entire ward if they want a CPZ.

Local cllr of Dulwich Village ward said where residents don't support having a CPZ, they won't have to have one.
We've shown stats that there's only been 74 requests in total since 2016 for the majority of roads in the Dulwich Village ward.

This video should not be viewed in isolation.
Buses stuck here effect everywhere.
Thousands of people delayed every day.
Naive cllrs thinking an LTN here or there won't have a wider impact on the area have caused absolute chaos in Lambeth and Southwark.
This is Gilkes Crescent in Dulwich - a closed road with very high car ownership.
The pro-LTN lobby in Dulwich are *all* car owners. Some have more than 2. Some have large SUVs. Yet they lecture everyone else how it's *others* who drive that's the problem.
#SE21
Dulwich Village cllrs ran their election campaign in '22 without mentioning LTNs in their manifesto *anywhere* that has pushed congestion to boundary roads, or their plans to close Turney Rd, or imposing a borough wide CPZ without a consultation.
#SE21#Dulwich
*Meeting alert!*
Southwark cllrs & officers will be at two meetings to discuss imposing CPZs in Dulwich.
When: Tuesday 11 July - 6-8pm
Where: Dulwich Library
When: Wednesday 2 August 2-3.30pm
Where: Dulwich Library
Make sure to book your place! ⬇️

Ethically barren behaviour from @LSHTM#LTN academic Dr Anna Goodman.Stealing a poster from a shop is bad, but when it concerns a petition, that's a move designed to hobble a key part of grassroots democracy. Utterly shabby. @DulwichCleanAir@PaulLomax@Mark_J_Harper@SadiqKhan
Sadiq Khan defines how he views LTN that work:
"less car use, no displacement, better air quality, better business for shops on the roads, and more children walking to school."
By this measure, the LTNs in Dulwich are a total failure.
#Dulwich#SE21
In just two pictures, the inequality of LTNs is laid bare.
Three years on, nothing has changed.
There's been no promised evaporation, only traffic moved from one road to another.
Why are some children more important to @lb_southwark than others?
