I remember seeing and respond to at least 3 consultations from Lambeth in the last three years( the results are published in their website) but I’ve never received/ seen any other type of consultation from local residents and I wonder why. Is it maybe because I live in one of the roads badly( really badly) affected by the traffic and, therefore, the survey was intentionally not presented in our street?
I’d like to know:
- when and where(in which roads) was the survey conducted
-what were the questions and the type of responses expected(e.g: binary yes or no or there was a space for comments)
- who analysed the results and how
- were the results published and where
- were the issues(CPZ, LTN and health route) clearly explained and distinguishable
The LTN is a TRIAL to find a solution for some of the roads that have been seriously affected by the traffic and speed of cars. The council has stated so many times that they will modify the streets closure during the trial based on live results and traffic movements.
I don’t know why the word ‘community’ is even used in these posts.
There is no willingness to understand your neighbour's issues and try to resolve them if that means observe the effect of a trial to understand what works best for everyone. Everybody has the right to live in a safe road. These flyers and local associations seem to work against this right by preventing to find a solution and blocking every proposal.
Misleading ways of presenting the facts have created confusion and anger in the area.
The best thing the council could come up with was the LTN Trial trying to keep into consideration the whole area and the potential effect that it could cause by assessing real changes of the traffic and drivers habits. But no, that was not good enough. Better say no to everything and who cares about our neighbours!
