Legal cases against London LTNs

 

On 17 December, the High Court ruled in favour of Tower Hamlets Council after a legal challenge over its decision to remove three LTNs. (The Mayor’s statement highlights concerns about traffic displacement, delays to bus services and the impact on the emergency services and those with disabilities.)

 

Meanwhile, in south London, West Dulwich Action Group in Lambeth are expecting to hear the date of their judicial review in January, as are Open Our Roads, who are challenging Croydon Council for introducing LTNs as a revenue-raising exercise. One Dulwich is in touch with both campaign groups.

 

Dulwich Village junction re-design

 

Although the redesign of the Dulwich Village junction has been completed, the concrete road block on Court Lane has still not been removed to allow emergency vehicles through. We have asked the Council to explain why.

 

We have also asked why Blue Badge parking spaces have been moved much farther away from the shops, and why the Council has still not introduced signage, road markings or a speed limit to prevent collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.

 

Separately, we have been advised in writing that the missing road sign for Court Lane will shortly be attached to the new lamppost outside 1 Court Lane.

 

We send you our best wishes for the festive period, and our thanks for all your support in 2024

ENDS...

Perhaps pro-LTN cheerleader in chief Jon Burke maybe sheds some light on why Southwark Council are so reluctant to allow emergency vehicle access at the DV junction....or is it just a case of too soon Jon....honestly....how rabidly blinkered do you have to be to post something like that?
