Mainly on Twitter to highlight misguided LTN policy, being imposed without meaningful consultation, in Islington.

Andrew Neil’s Brexit reality check on BBC Question Time.
In a nutshell:
Rejoiners are ignoring the huge political wind of change sweeping Europe and the UK v Germany/ France/ Italy growth rates make a nonsense of their Mickey Mouse economic arguments too.

Paul Campbell who runs @OpenChiswickW4 has been putting up this chart as a 'got you' to those who argue that LTNs and cycle lanes contribute to slow bus speeds. He argues that since the reduction in bus speeds over the last decade was least in Camden and the City of London, both of which have LTNs and cycle lanes, they are not a cause of slower bus speeds. A minute with AI shows the fallacy of his argument. 10 years ago bus speeds were slowest in, wait for it...City of London and Camden. In other words, they could hardly get any slower.
What Campbell actually wrote - and apologies for his language - was "This is why it’s impossible to converse with you fucking morons. You are incapable of understanding the most basic logic. YOU argue LTNs and cycle lanes decrease bus speeds. The facts destroy YOUR argument you thick twats."

A reminder that people all over London are still suffering extra traffic on their roads as a result of LTNs. Sometimes put in under previous administrations. Is this going to be their fate forever and a day?

Andrew has been using his white cane to get around independently all his life. He can now no longer get the bus to Chiswick High Road to shop at M&S because of a two-way bike track running through his bus stop. All the major UK blind persons’ charities want to see a halt to this.

Oh wow. @peterwalker99 must be apoplectic !
I’ve always said it — there is a strong left wing and environmental case against LTNs and many of those who object are actually green lefties despite the way they are mislabelled by opponents

At long last! An article in the Guardian exposing the truth about LTNs. And a brilliant one. By one of the paper's senior journalists who lives in the South London borough of Lambeth. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

I have no worlds ….
@BetterSt4Enf @PGCommunity harming children outside LTNs with more congestion… more pollution for much longer hours ….
Our road again into hour 3 ….
101% increased congestion 100 yards away from this point at the top of this road post LTN ….

Rather than an aggressive plan to keep lower-income Londoners - and their businesses - in the city, we have LTN schemes that close high income high car ownership streets and relocate traffic & pollution to community roads & High Streets, reducing customer visits for local shops.

Millions spent on infrastructure lobbied by cycling campaign groups because #LondonLovesCycling however the reality is an unfriendly pedestrian area, and tailbacks causing excess pollution to community main roads. #JustForBalance

And here is the heart of Hackney Central. @susorunge @BenHayhurst @SophieConway84 have forsaken us. The environmental racism & environmental classism of LTNs is clear and @ZoeGarbett is their cheerleader on a Londonwide level. All lungs must matter #justforbalance
The London Cycling Campaign is staging a Festival of Cycling this weekend with the title 'London Loves Cycling'. Timed just before next week's elections. We back cycling too but #justforbalance we highlight the policies pursued by some cycling groups over the past 4 years.

@RowChampion@KayaJunction this is what is happening in Islington
Will, are you prepared to admit at all that some LTNs and turning bus lanes into cycle lanes has delayed some bus journeys, particularly at peak hours?

A short SEJ publication, out today, reveals 21 major bus corridors have had some of their bus lanes replaced by cycle lanes since 2013.
And that it is lower-income households, disabled people and women & children who are the biggest losers

I just don’t get how protestors can celebrate slaughter like this
‘Pro-#Palestine’ protesters wearing paraglider pictures on the streets of London right now.
Hamas sent terrorists on paragliders to a rave in #Israel where they raped, mutilated and massacred 260 youngsters.

We've published the attached leaflet as part of the campaign to stop the insane Barnsbury.Laycock LTN scheme. Please feel free to circulate widely! @RowChampion @Paul_Convery @andrewellson @charlotchambers

Brilliantly uses humour to highlight how LTNs relocate traffic.
LTNs are like this …….. why spread it evenly when we can have a quiet road for all to enjoy 😉

In your desperation to close every side road, and increase pollution and congestion on community main rds, @IslingtonBC Can you tell me why this stealth LTN has been introduced under the guise of a School St?
What are the reasons a SS needs to be active 24/7?
