"LTNS CUT DEATHS AND INJURIES BY OVER A THIRD."
Taken from the #BikeIsBest newsletter https://www.bikeis.best/p/30-cycling-growth-and-good-ltn-news?publication_id=2148339&post_id=167820435&isFreemail=true
"Examining 113 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) across more than a decade, researchers found that LTNs were associated with a 35% reduction in all injuries, and a 37% drop in deaths and serious injuries (KSIs)."

Shepherdess Walk, junction with Micawber Street, Hackney.
This used to be a signalised junction before the junction (on both roads) was filtered with a bus exemption.
First planters, now kerbs.
“We view these schemes with the same suspicion as mass immigration and net zero,” Yusuf told the Telegraph, adding: “You can expect, if you live in a Reform council, for there to be a much higher bar for any proposals for LTNs and for the large-scale reversal of these existing LTNs.” Safer streets for children very woke for #MiniTrump and his acolytes. #LTNs #Reform #RoadSafety
“The only way is to lift my #bike over my head”: Cyclist slams “anti-bike” gates creating “low cycling neighbourhoods” instead of low traffic neighbourhoods #LTNs
A #cyclist has raised concerns over a network of restrictive gates and barriers across a #London borough’s parks and cycle routes, warning that outdated infrastructure is blocking access for many and undermining efforts to encourage #activetravel

One of the reasons I love walking through the neighbouring borough to where I live are the LTNs. I wish my own borough would try it too.

Schoolchildren living in London's ultra-low emission zone #Ulez were nearly four times as likely to switch to walking and #cycling after its introduction compared with those outside the zone, new research suggests.
Labour is right about #LTNs – the Tories need to learn the same lesson
Andrew Gilligan
For all the initial noise against #LowTrafficNeighbourhoods, most people like them and they can benefit the public purse

"Tory activists may hate #LTNs, and their friends may hate LTNs – but political parties always get in trouble when they go by what their activists, rather than the public, think. Perhaps, in the years of recovery ahead, the Conservatives will learn this lesson."

Air quality improved both inside and on boundary roads of low traffic neighbourhoods in Oxford, but Labour MP claims more #LTNs will worsen congestion

Car driving sociopaths want other people to suffer so they can feel big, stop trying to force your big metal cocks into places they aren't welcome. A more liveable city is one that caters to humans, not cars.
Sadly the #Heavitree and #Whipton #ActiveStreets #LTN looks set to be cancelled. https://road.cc/content/news/cyclists-urge-councillors-not-scrap-divisive-ltn-308623 There are links to the #ExeterCyclingCampaign in the post if anyone feels like sending a last ditch email to the councillors.
Call for stricter rules to stop UK MPs repeating conspiracy theories
"The health minister Maria Caulfield repeated the untrue claim that plans for 15-minute cities...would include a road toll on anyone travelling by car more than 15 minutes from home.
Mark Harper, a transport minister...endorsed false claims that LTNs are a means to prevent people travelling outside their local area without permission."
