Fantastic news to end the week - @hackneycouncil are making the Hackney Downs LTN permanent. It’s been transformational for the area. Now we can build on the achievement, with new public spaces where there used to be traffic

[Mete Coban MBE @metecoban92]

NEW: Hackney Downs LTN will be permanent - with changes.

Following feedback from residents, there will be some important changes.

Together, we will rebuild a greener Hackney with cleaner air, healthier lives & better neighbourhoods 👊🏼✌🏾

Plans are out for some improvements to Northwold Rd and @hackneydownsltn. At @hackney_cycling we spent a lot of effort mapping where cycle #Gateways were needed. One of the locations is right here. But the proposals ignore it. Can we discuss please? @metecoban92 @carowoodley

[Will Petty 🌳🌳 @Microlambert]

So for whatever it's worth, please take a few minutes to fill in the consultation today, and ask for action to fix this problem that we've known about for ages. Tell the council not to waste any more money finding out something we already know. Thank you

⚠️Consultation on changes to the Hackney Downs LTN closes today. While it's good to see changes being implemented, the most needed one is – inexplicably – nowhere to be seen in the consultation, so you'll need to write it in. Read on… 1/n 🧵https://t.co/QQ8sdMbKV8

Removing through-traffic doesn’t prevent people from accessing places by car. But it encourages high rates of walking and cycling, and more considerate driving. @hackneydownsltn

[Redesign Pembury Circus @PemburyFiveWays]

Help us redesign Five Ways junction to stop wheelchair users and other pedestrians having to make dangerous crossings between gaps in traffic - comment, follow, share 💪

Typical morning at nightmare #pemburycircus / #pemburyfiveways junction

Nitrogen dioxide levels at Five Ways junction and Amhurst Rd consistently fall above 50ug/m3…far exceeding the UK target of <40ug/m3 and WHO guidance of <25ug/m3 Please help @hackneycouncil @MayorofLondon #pemburyfiveways #londonpollution

[Hackney Downs LTN @hackneydownsltn]

@kev_tape @StokeyLTN @enjoyLDNfields Most of our asks were for the end of the end of this mayoral term. Good to see early progress on cycle storage, cycle hire and a new cargo delivery hub though. Our call for a 15% traffic reduction by 2026 is now @HackneyLabour policy

[StokeNewingtonLTN @StokeyLTN]

Who wants a low traffic Stamford Hill West? Traffic calming, filters, more cycle lanes & hangers, enforced School Streets. Who’s in? DM us to help us get the campaign started #lowtraffichackney #stamfordhillwest #LTN

For main roads which ‘don’t have enough space’ for both a bus lane and a bike lane, the trick is to remove the car lane
