I agee with One Dulwich - they represent my views and concerns. I don't drive, don't own a car - never have - and I walk a lot. I live on a main road where the traffic has been very much worst since the so called ltn was introduced: more traffic, more noise and more air pollution. Neither southwark council nor cycling groups care.

I admire your patience Rockets... 🙂

Just walking from Forest Hill station, along South Circular / LL: traffic stationary and not moving at all - the usual and so much worst since so-called ltn was introduced in Dulwich. I wonder what cllr leeming have to say - you live on a main road so you die ten years earlier because of air pollution? How is southwark council proposing to address this?

Mostly naive. They are way too polite also.

This is too easy: out of touch with real world? dangerous hardline ideologue? pandering to the rich of East Dulwich? manipulating data? bulling TfL staff? my way or the highway? if you live on South Circular you can die from air pollution for all I care? Ladies & gents, southwark LABOUR council very own comrade Leeming!!

Keep up the fight prople - ltn must go

Keep up the fight people - ltn must go

Yep - the ends justify the means. What a waste of money the ltn is: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66524319.amp

Heartblock do you have a link to the report pls or know where to find it pls? LTN is a complete scam and harmful st that.

Pretty much an issue on nearby LL / South Circular Rd

@Administrator "In general, I'd prefer the General ED forum to contain shorter lived, focused topics about breaking news, rather than seeing the LTN Behemoth topic constantly resurfacing to the top being bumped by a handful of contributors" Ok so the first world problems like 'celebrity in sainsbury' or 'wagamama coming to ED' are number one. I get it but In which case, where do you want the serious, real life issues / discussions to go to? "topic constantly resurfacing to the top being bumped by a handful of contributor" - this is not true. Most of my friends do not post here (and I've looked it up much less frequently ever since the change)- but that doesn't mean the problem has gone away. Perhaps it is time to create a separate place / topic / folder for real problems and serious issues. And isn't it high time to reprimand Malumbu who doesn't even live in Southwark, left alone Dulwich but is constantly spamming here?

All I know is that the day after LTN was introduced in East Dulwich - especially after Dulwich Village closure - the traffic tripled in front of my flat. I remember talking with neighbours - we thought there must've been a truly serious incident in the area for the traffic to go this bad. There are no words to describe this ltn idea - how on Earth anyone with even tiny tiny bit of common sense could ever assume that closing roads can force anyone to stop driving? I do not drive - never owned a car and never driven. I walk. Talked to tones of people and not one of them said they stopped driving because the roads have been closed. It's madness - it's like telling someone from Eastern Europe the communism is great. What Southwark council has done is truly scandalous - pandering to cycling lobby, greenwashing, bullying TfL staff, ignoring outcome of the consultation, shoving off people living on the boundary roads with - now - increased traffic and air & noise pollution because of the so-called ltn, having no proof to show that so-called ltn work - and constituents money wasted on all this

I sincerely hope this is the beginning of the end of LTN vanity project which did exactly ZERO to improve, well, anything.

@Admin: before you move a thread to 'lounge' you should exercise your right to reprimend people. Someone who admits not living in Dulwich, left alone Southwark should not be commentig on how the LTNs affect the local residents.

Interesting. I hope they dismiss Aldred & Co from the review. You’re receiving this email because you signed this petition: “Carry out an independent review into Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs)”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632748 The Petitions Committee (the group of MPs who oversee the petitions system) have considered the Government’s response to this petition. They felt that the response did not directly address the request of petition and have therefore written back to the Government to ask them to provide a revised response. When the Committee have received a revised response from the Government, this will be published on the website and you will receive an email.

Southwark council won't stop until every inch of green is gone and everything concreted, honestly

Best to contact petitionscommittee@parliament.uk It is ridiculous, like asking a vegetarian if they like meat-free meals!

And in a meantime, the rail fares are going up by 5.9%. What a great way to encourage people to ditch their cars and use public transport more.

Where’s the data? Southwark hasn’t released any recent data on either traffic counts or NO2 emissions in the Dulwich area. The Southwark Highways map shows NO2 readings up to 2021, but only as annual averages (and many are missing). The traffic data (with many broken links) consists of average weekly traffic counts. Averages, as we all know, hide key data – for example, congestion and pollution at peak hours when children are walking and cycling to school. Given that the Council is about to launch Phase 3 of Dulwich Village Streets for People, should it not be releasing comprehensive information about the effect of the LTNs on the area as a whole? Closed roads, obviously, have much less traffic. But has traffic increased as a result on roads like Lordship Lane, East Dulwich Grove, Half Moon Lane, Croxted Road, Burbage Road and Dulwich Common (the South Circular)? If so, is the Council happy that these residential roads are now more congested and polluted? Ella’s Law On the tenth anniversary of her daughter’s death from air pollution, Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, who was awarded a CBE in the New Year Honours list, is calling on MPs to introduce the Clean Air (Human Rights) Bill, also known as Ella’s Law. In a recent BBC news report, she said that LTNs show the division between the most and least deprived Londoners. “Certain people have lobbied their council and have managed to get LTNs in [their area] and have pushed all the traffic on to areas like the South Circular where the most deprived live.” Read the full report here.

At 10,000 signatures, the government will respond. Thank you for your support. The One Dulwich Team

BB it's the Thames Water - there is hardly a week without TW digging a hole in Forest Hill area and causing a mayhem on South Circular. They should be renamed to Waste Water.
