Former Ealing LTN21 resident. I have 10 wheels across 4 vehicles, one motorised.

@jenstridonkai Outside a religious centre during drop-off on their biggest event of the year, so very misleading. Same roads very quiet later in the day even with school pickup time approaching.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

“Sent to us today”. As you know @BetterEaling @whyteshome this is just outside a major Hindu temple, *at Diwali*. Nearby roads eg Culmington are quiet.

Will you withdraw this misleading vid, which misappropriates a major ethnic event? @_petermason @deirdrecostigan @JasbirAnand2

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@Jontafkasi @EalingOne Here’s the same area post-event but at school going-home time the same day. You can monitor it yourself a few days in a row, if you like: https://t.co/l2gSCCV02g

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@Jontafkasi @EalingOne Thanks for the invitation, but already have. Video was during drop-off outside a Hindu temple on the biggest religious event of the year: even Google Maps notes it as unusual.

@Prehistory @RTours86 @London_Cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @ToryCycling @EalingCyclists @SpacePootler Because it’s largely a bunch of mid-life blokes with no other creative outlet in their lives, who’ve latched onto this as their Cause & think that telling other people what to do but with minimal change to their own preferences, makes them Greta Thunberg.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

I follow a lot of people & I’ve no idea what Richard’s LTN politics are, but either way this just *has* to be a totally incontrovertible statement.

[Richard Tourenhout @RTours86]

Climate protesters blocking cycle lane.

#InsulateBritain truly are the stupidest protest group around.

[Richard Tourenhout @RTours86]

@EyeEaling Thanks @EyeEaling
I'm not at all in favour of LTNs but I'm very much in favour of well thought through active travel infrastructure.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

Amazing, sincere & painfully honest account @LittleNinjaUK.

We all owe you massive thanks for putting yourself out there like this.

[Little Ninja UK @LittleNinjaUK]

Strange seeing ourselves on TV today. We hope @BBC viewers will join us in changing things to protect children of London & the UK.
Let's end the LTN experiment that pushes traffic onto our most polluted roads, poisoning the kids at greatest risk of asthma & stunted lung growth.🙏🏾

@EyeEaling @Kath1109 @BetterEaling @whyteshome @_petermason @deirdrecostigan @JasbirAnand2 St John's Church, in the video, is also the home of a very busy vaccination centre that has been operating throughout & continues to be busy. Its a 1 off & this area has improved dramatically since the removal of the ridiculously thought out & implemented without cause LTN.

[Dr. Rosamund Adoo-KD CBE FBSA @EllaRobertaFdn]

I have kindly asked medics to have conversations with families who are frequent visitors to paediatric A&E for respiratory illnesses. Do they live near busy rds? Mould in their houses? Indoor air pollution? So much education yet to be had.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@Abradacamera @BetterEaling Well, literally, it would seem.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@RTours86 Same here!

But if you don’t buy into the @london_cycling @WeAreCyclingUK @ToryCycling LTN ideology then apparently you don’t count.

Meanwhile I nearly broke my head on Mon in a pothole on Mayfield Ave Ealing, that it seems @EalingCyclists @spacepootler have done nothing about.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@LoveRat15 @D123Natasha @Bobby6817 @BetterEaling Comment on this please, Lew? It’s Diwali after all.

If you’re local, what say you post a video from the same place, same time, same day, next week?

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@BetterEaling @D123Natasha @LoveRat15 @Bobby6817 So what’s your explanation for this today, at school time, after the Temple rush finished?

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@JhnTzr @BetterEaling So your point was, what exactly?

You connected the impact of a transient annual religious event to the removal of LTNs in general.

Feel free to explain the connection.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@benjyminty @JhnTzr @BetterEaling @_petermason I’m sure @EalingCouncil’s Hindus are delighted to hear they’re just human “barriers” for daring to drive Granny to her yearly devotion.

You do know this whole convo is being imaged for billboards in Southall/Greenford/Northolt in May? @_petermason @JasbirAnand2 @deirdrecostigan

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@FreshAirLondon @BetterEaling @LittleNinjaUK @ediz1975 So being concerned about *actual* harm to children & overall CO2/pollutant impact rather than a standard “here’s a propaganda shot of a child on a tricycle” is “nasty”, is it?

If that’s who you are, then fine.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@Prehistory This is an incredibly unfair comment, Christopher.

Going by Twitter, it should be “John, John, John, John, John, John-from-Scotland, John-from-Distant-Cycling-Club, Eccentric-Two-Cars-John-up-the-road-whose-wife-&-kids-laugh-at-him, & their Wandsworth friend Janet-sorry-Jo”.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

This needs publicising - please share. Policy capture by a shouty minority with no heed for the concerns of their majority, diverse neighbours.

[Open Our Roads @OpenOurRoads]

Croydon Council plans to push ahead with ANPR. Albert Rd area = 69% - 79% opposed. Holmesdale Rd area = 71 % - 84% opposed. Residents again ignored in favour of small group of divisive & well connected pro “LTN” campaigners. Is this ok @SteveReedMP?

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

And currently being bullied by a local Councillor for having the temerity to allow someone else to display a poster in the window on a blameless traffic topic. Really sinister, undemocratic thought control.

Does @GaryChadwicks do online? I’ll order from him if so.

[EalingEye @EyeEaling]

@FreshAirLondon @BetterEaling @LittleNinjaUK @ediz1975 Nothing: I live in one. I’m just not so a selfishly hypocrital as to delude myself that a few less cars/hr + a smug idiot up the road tweeting his 4yr-old on a tricycle in mid-road with delivery vans & bin lorries round the corner, is worth the added CO2/main road impact.

You?
