The narrow, residential roads being reopened had some of the highest traffic volumes pre-LTN: Ennersdale ➡️3.25 million cars/year & Leahurst ➡️ 2.2 million.

This is a massive step backwards.😢
This is not a low-traffic neighbourhood. This a no man’s land - reopening these roads just creates new rat runs by 2 primaries and takes away any incentive to switch to walking/cycling. Back to square one.
@BBCTomEdwards @carltonreid @peterwalker99 @NicholasHellen Lewisham - new record for an LTN trial? 8 weeks to implement it. 7 weeks to trial it (all the experts say you need 3-6 months). A huge disappointment for so many local residents who were just beginning to change habits.
