@One_Greenwich@averil_lekau@MrOkereke@mtpennycook I attended the meeting at Woolwich last week and after the Q&A I commented to one of the panel that conservatively it looked like a 70-30 split negative to positive. He claimed it was 50/50. He did say they would be checking ip addresses. Hopefully both for and against!
@whatSFSaid Absolutely understand. Thanks vm and hopefully see you next week. Good luck with the tour/events and congratulations on the success of the book.
@whatSFSaid Thank you for the reply. Will the virtual one be recorded by any chance and posted on your website? Also I see you might be at Bromley around 11 am on Tuesday. Does that mean maybe Bluewater might be around 1pm? I appreciate it isnโt a formal event.
@whatSFSaid@WaterstonesO2@DFB_storyhouse Hi there, do you have any other events lined up in London? I have been keeping an eye on the Waterstones website and I could only see Kingston upon Thames, the virtual event and some others outside London? Didnt see the Finchley Rd event or we would have been there.
@KateM45@charliejrome@greenwich_wire@LakshanSaldin@David_Llew I live in Westcombe Park. Have done since 1993. Always congestion on Trafalgar Road. But your daily videos of backed up traffic on Vanbrugh Hill went down massively after the LTN was scrapped. Your counts if remember were unscientific observations as opposed to formal data.
@charliejrome@KateM45@greenwich_wire@LakshanSaldin@David_Llew It was not a spurious claim. It was an uncomfortable fact. Vanbrugh Hill is much clearer now the West Greenwich LTN is gone. Rat runners used East Greenwich when it was in place. Now they donโt. It does back up occasionally. But not regularly.
@KateM45 Anyway I bid you kind farewell. Bed time. Good luck in your efforts and stay safe with that filming. I mean that genuinely. Lots of silly people out there.
@KateM45 Shame they didnโt use it during the recent LTN proposal. Their data was from 2003. The reason they did this was to lowball the car ownership data to justify closing the roads. It was underhand and they were caught out. A shame because things needed to change and they lost trust
@KateM45 I admire your community mindedness but if you are proposing a 10mph speed limit and restricting movements as Greenwich Council were then probably needs@more than that.
@KateM45 And everyone uses sat nav today so not sure what you propose to do about that. Sat nav is probably perversely helping the traffic situation in London by redirecting cars away from the worst spots and balancing out the flow from the busier main roads.
@KateM45 Traffic is non linear. Doesnโt take a huge increase to cause huge problems. We have one of Europeโs largest civil engineering projects right on our doorstep and Knight Dragon building 16000 homes on the peninsula.If you think itโs all rat runners then I have to politely disagree
@KateM45 You are completely missing my point. Those residents order Amazon deliveries Ubers. Have tradesmen. Maintenance. Commercial traffic. Visitors. These developments create massive amounts of additional traffic even though the residents donโt drive.
