@Sharmani @Blitzwalker @ukpubbitch 4/1 on William Hill atm! Odds dropping faster than the pound in your pocket. Car Crash.

@Sharmani "I got blisters on my fingers" trying to type the answer. Still too slow. Cracking track.

@mediaresearchgp @global @dvjinsights "Mass qual", no qualms! Thanks for having us, enjoyed it.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

@Sharmani So good, you've used it twice! I thought, I know that song, sure he's done it before...December 2016!

@AirCroxted @alessia_borri @Cavalierofinn2 @BraganzaCathy @ChitchClaire Mainly denial of my own eyes and ears, and that I should do more to stop people driving outside my house. Anyways, I'm off for a bike ride now.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

Welcome to the Croxted Road ring of smog. Nearly a year on from the introduction, and no sign of traffic disappearing. This cannot become the new normal. @AirCroxted @Cavalierofinn2 @BraganzaCathy

@alessia_borri @AirCroxted @Cavalierofinn2 @BraganzaCathy What I oppose is having everyone's shit dumped on our doorstep. You are quite happy for us to be collateral damage, let us suck it up.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

@alessia_borri @AirCroxted @Cavalierofinn2 @BraganzaCathy I've lived here for 20 years, and can assure you it hasn't always been like this. And neither has Rosendale Road. What has changed is that I can't open my windows in the morning as we're trapped inside. What behaviour would you like me to change as I sit in my house?

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

People got let off the number 3, because it just wasn't going anywhere. What a miserable environment for us all.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

This is the reality of living by Croxted Road. Same most weekday mornings and evenings. It has to stop. Sick of being experimented with. @AirCroxted @ChitchClaire

@peterwalker99 @LondonPooch Agree the binary LTNs are good or bad, doesn't work in many cases. Specifically on Croxted Road the issue was lots of speeding cars and some congestion at the junction. Now we have all the traffic at a standstill for 5 hours a day. That doesn't seem like progress for residents.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

This was Hawarden Grove at 9am this morning. Queuing on the side roads to get onto the stationary Croxted car park. We've been absolutely screwed over. @AirCroxted

@DylBryn @margynewens @busbf11 @RM_Leeming Anyone lucky enough to have bought property anywhere in London in last 25 years has seen massive house price inflation. You didn't expect to be in lottery where ALL the traffic got dumped on you with no say in it. And neither do renters. Or kids. Or pedestrians. Or cyclists.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

This is what its come to. Sitting at my desk, fuming at the fumes and doing effing time and (no)motion studies on buses.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

See that bus? It took it six minutes to travel the roughly 100 metres from Hawarden to Guernsey Grove via the Croxted Road car park. Misery, and its backed all the way up. @AirCroxted

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

@AllianceDulwich @AirCroxted @DrRosemaryL @RosendaleSchool @ThurlowLabour @helenhayes_ @MumsForLungs @idlingaction @CleanAirDulwich Same old, same old. Stinking with an added twist of backed up traffic down Hawarden Grove.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

@BereMills @AirCroxted Yeah, but then Finny, I'd miss out on all the bars, and night life and ...oh...fair enough. Hope you're well mate, that does look OK!

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

Beautiful day as we gently choke on Croxted Road. The bridge is completely open in Herne Hill, so that excuse is gone now. How bad does it get before action is taken? @AirCroxted

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

Bad getting worse. Croxted Road and now Hawarden Grove. This is killing me. Literally.

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

@AlanRenwick6 Sorry Alan. Not guilty. Although I do like a beer 🍺!

[Simon McDonald @McDonaldSimon]

I wonder what time it is? Hears honking, smells traffic fumes, looks outside. Oh, I know, its croxted road traffic chaos time of day.
