Croxted Clean Air too

Passionate climate change clean air community, leaving no one behind in our fight against displaced traffic
As if the chaos in national politics wasn't enough - Southwark Labour are showing their true colours as unserious student union politicians. It's no wonder the council is run so poorly when this is how they run leadership elections!
How do you explain average bus speeds slowing since 2019, whilst traffic counts are actually down? The explanation is a new factor promoting congestion of public transport routes by private cars. LTN advocates should sell their cars and bang the drum for others to do the same.
Boundary rd homes suffer increased congestion, pollution & noise - classic negative externalities. They erode quality of life. Lack of a price drop doesn’t mean harm isn’t occurring. Housing markets are imperfect & sticky, esp in Ldn where supply is constrained. @AirCroxted
Anna Goodman's husband trying to grasp at any straw to make LTNs popular. Now they're a good thing because they make property prices go up? Desperate times clearly call for desperate measures. His total lack of empathy for those on the boundary of LTNs is insane.
If main rd house prices don’t fall, it's likely due to macro forces (e.g. Ldn's housing shortage) masking localised detriments. The fact that boundary homes might hold value while absorbing disproportionate harms is an argument for unfairness, not against it. @AirCroxted

Over 80% car ownership in your "low traffic neighbourhood". Seems like your air isn't so clean after all... x.com/LittleNinjaUK/…
Looking at this image, rather than low income families being 2.7 times more likely to live within the West Dulwich LTN, is it in fact "the whitest, least densely populated, wealthiest, greenest part of the borough with the highest car ownership in Lambeth"? Ht @RuthMcKay162841
Please include Croxted residents in discussions 🙏. We’ve reached out many times -have experience as well as the most up to date data to respond intelligently to Croxted. How can plans be made without residents involved? Trust at all time low 🙁 @RezinaChowdhury @LambethLabour
What do those bus priority measures look like ? We have no idea. It would be good if we could be part of the discussion @RezinaChowdhury @LambethLabour We are very concerned about speeding cars and our vulnerable residents @ChitchClaire
I walk this way every day to school. As said before, I turn myself into a lollipop person to help the 100s of school kids navigate this junction. Lights and phasings are tricky for pedestrians. An *actual* lollipop lady would be a start! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Then speed cams Then redesign.
this has been going on since 2012. Exactly how long does it actually take? Over a decade ago there is a post stating “progress is possible.” Yet 13 years later that progress is still at the writing letters stage!
LTN councils and MPs want to be judged by their so-called intentions and not their home addresses or results. The hypocrisy is breathtaking and so are the excess fumes they have been creating, all along the South circular. What do they care? If it doesn't help them, nothing.
I do wonder what this has done for community cohesion. Even after 5 years of congestion -I’m proud that Croxted RA would NOT agree to a plan that makes life worse for Norwood Road neighbours. We are West Dulwich families too. #Mainroadfamilies. @AirCroxted
Anna Goodman's husband, running the pro-LTN group in West Dulwich said "it's much easier to talk to your neighbours when there aren't 200 cars an hour going past your front door." No thought given to the those on the now much busier roads. 🤡 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

17/06/25: 08.21am Croxted Road SE21 Come rain or shine New normal for Croxted families who walk scoot or cycle to school. Congestion. Noise. Horrible. Measures for main roads? (After 5 years, none!) @helenhayes_ @RezinaChowdhury @AirCroxted
In the pro LTN world it isn’t cars that are the problem, it’s other people’s cars going down your road. It’s a cult for people who have no care for the environment, they care for their property price and quiet road.
Remember @southwarklabour 2022 manifesto commitment #36? "We will work with TfL to reduce traffic on main roads & make bus journeys quicker & more reliable, exploring the potential for rapid bus transit." None of that happened. @visitcamberwell @AirCroxted @DulwichCleanAir
No let up here either despite promises of evaporation and it takes time…. & a Cllr swearing on their mother’s life that the timed restrictions didn’t make the congestion worse here (and Tfl concluding the opposite, that bus delays were a result of the restrictions)@ChitchClaire
They waited 5 years before admitting their LTNs increase traffic, pollution and congestion on our community roads. Five years of breathing toxic air for thousands of children who live, travel, learn & play on LTN sacrificial roads = stunted lung growth = irreparable lung damage.

Will it take @bristolgreen @BristolLabour @BristolLibDems @SteveSmith98 FIVE YEARS To admit traffic/pollution is WORSE on sacrificial boundary rds in East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood? Church/Blackswarth/Whitehall rds BS5?? @BristolLive @KerryMP @TheBristolCable @BBCBristol
Not sure much ‘afflunece’ research needed for Dulwich Village LTN. In an area where private schools commute in 9000 students daily - main roads where state school students live, walk cycle, use bus, now have those 4x4s stuck in congestion. Hellish for least culpable. @AirCroxted
Well done, you’ve found an LTN with expensive cars in it. That’s the kind of rigorous research we’ve come to expect from the pro car lobby
List of London LTN's, as well as average house prices in those areas compared to house prices within LTN. Show's they are primarily implemented in wealthier & less densely populated neighbourhoods than poorer/over crowded ones. x.com/i/grok/share/1…
Calling @LambethLabour @clairekholland @RezinaChowdhury When will you acknowledge that residential/community roads across Lambeth have been badly impacted by traffic displaced from LTNs? @SocEnvJustice

Apparently local labour councillor canvassing on Croxted today said that 1. Nobody had ever raised concerns about congestion and LTN 2. Congestion on Croxted had nothing to do with LTN - ‘on his mother’s grave’ Utterly disingenuous. His poor mother. @TwofeetgoodSE21
5/6/26 8.30am evaporation doesn’t happen nor are there ‘more measures for main roads’ despite endless meetings and requests from residents here on Croxted

Ignoring residents' legitimate concerns, poor consultation, boosting LTN scheme benefits while soft-pedaling the downsides. It's all too familiar to anyone who saw how @lb_southwark behaved. @AirCroxted @margynewens @RoseCllr @mcash @DulwichReopen @ChitchClaire @DulwichCleanAir
