- What a wonderful community ride on the safe streets of Streatham Wells. Meeting neighbours and new friends for the first time. This would have been impossible a month ago.
00:00 - A child and their parent happily cycling home from after school club along Leigham Court Road. The Streatham Wells LTN has given them a safe route to and from school 🙏 Thank you @lambeth_council
00:00 - Meanwhile ambulances are still stuck in congestion on the high road. Has everyone lost?
00:00 - "We don't live in the LTN. I found it nerve-wracking cycling on Valley Rd with kids on our bike before. It's now so much safer. We use the LTN to help them learn to ride because it feels like a safe space. We want to remain car free and this is helping us!" #storiesfromtheLTN
- Morning all, it's us again. What is the plan for dealing with this mess please? @MayorofLondon @willnorman @LabourMarina @clairekholland @RezinaChowdhury
00:00 - 3 months since the LTN was suspended here. Now we just have a continuous stream of cars Not a peep from the council. Not a peep from TfL Remind us how we're being encouraged to walk and cycle in this? @clairekholland @RezinaChowdhury @willnorman @LabourMarina @SteveReedMP
- Come rain or shine, Valley Road and the rest of Streatham Wells are now OPEN FOR CYCLING FOR EVERYONE 🚲🌧️☀️🎉 Just look at what is made possible by taking out the thousands of rat running cars using these streets to avoid the main roads
- Sunday lunch in Streatham. The only difference now is that there are no safe routes in the side roads. What are you going to do about this mess @TfL @lambeth_council @clairekholland ?
- "We've totally changed our behaviour since the LTN. We have a car but use it so much less, I cycle to work, choose a lime bike or walk to the gym, we walk our dog to the common. I hear birds singing on our streets and when I cycle home at night I feel safe" #StoriesFromTheLTN
- On Tuesday eve a member of our group took a sample of the no. of people in each private car at a point on Streatham High Road. In 20 mins (18:45-19:05): 1 person - 47 cars 2 people - 18 cars 3 people - 3 cars 4 people - 0 cars 5 people - 0 cars Efficient use of roadspace?
- A street transformed. From daily jams and accidents for 10k cars a day to a calm and happy place for children to cycle to school Low traffic neighbourhoods are amazing
