Campaign Update | 30 Jan
Greenwich LTN in the news
The Daily Mail reports that the new LTN in Greenwich was opposed by more than two-thirds of those consulted, is badly affecting local businesses, and is diverting traffic on to roads that were already congested. Sounds familiar?
More local campaign groups join us
As we reported in our last update, One Dulwich have been working with Social and Environmental Justice to bring together grassroots campaign groups from all over the country to call on the government to change the law on LTNs.
Since The Times published our joint letter, more local groups have joined the original fifteen. We are now waiting for a response from Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander to our request for a strict regulatory framework for both new and existing traffic management schemes, in order to ensure that local authorities 1) do not disadvantage groups with protected characteristics, and 2) cannot implement or maintain schemes that do not have community support.
Better signage needed at the closed Dulwich Village junction
At a meeting of the Met Police’s Safer Neighbourhoods Panel on 27 January, there was discussion about poor and confusing signage at the closed junction, and how this impacts the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. If you have concerns or suggestions, please contact highways@southwark.gov.uk
