But Streatham can't be tweaked because it has been withdrawn completely, the signs and cameras come down over the next two weeks (how much tax payers money has been wasted) and the cameras were switched off yesterday to allow traffic to flow again.

What does that tell you? Clearly the council realised there was no tweak that was going to fix it.

It was the sheer number of vehicles being forced down the Streatham High Road AFTER the LTNs went in that was the problem....thay pesky displacement side-effect of every LTN at play again there.

Perhaps you would care to share why you think the Streatham LTN failed (except the roadworks of course given you were citing that as just one reason- and not because that's what you had heard the mayor and council blame it on) 😉

BTW the numbers of cars have been decreasing year on year in London and have been for some time (and this was happening long before the LTNs).

Lambeth press release is that it is suspended: https://love.lambeth.gov.uk/streatham-wells-a23-update/

Mayor Khan says it has been suspended: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/sadiq-khan-streatham-wells-lambeth-council-ltn-low-traffic-neighbourhood-suspended-b1144176.html

The Telegraph report that it has been scrapped. You can make your own minds up 😃

Malumbu, you're lapping up the council spin (to be fair you're amongst friends though on here).

The council may be using the term suspended to save face but the cameras and signage will be removed in two weeks and people were notified that from yesterday the cameras will no longer fine people for using tne roads that were closed.

Removal of the cameras and signage is not a suspension......

 

As I was saying Labour councils are never very good at admitting they got something wrong..."sorry seems to be the hardest word"....;-)

What will be instructive, is how many of those posting concerned pictures on social media of rush hour congestion on Streatham High Road, will continue to do so now that they've been successful in ensuring there is also traffic on side streets. In other neighbourhoods where LTNs have been removed and main road traffic congestion has remained high (such as Tooting), all the 'anti-LTN' people who claimed to be desperately concerned about it, oddly disappeared (leaving congestion on main roads and on residential side streets, with no new answers).

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
