Someone leaked the report to an "activist" journalist knowing full well they they would "selectively pluck" items to fit their agenda.....and remember large parts of the report were based on data from "activist researcher" Dr Aldred... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/mar/08/low-traffic-neighbourhoods-generally-popular-report-ordered-by-sunak-finds Very much a case of when the headline: Rishi Sunak’s report finds low-traffic neighbourhoods work and are popular ....doesn't get supported by your article: A copy of the report seen by the Guardian said that polling carried out inside four sample LTNs for the DfT found that overall, twice as many local people supported them as opposed them.

But there again the gentrification of Penge is astonishing That was drafted a few days ago. But I seriously have to disagree with Cycle Monkey. The eastern edges of SE23 are extremely convenient for St Dunstan's, and on the lower parts of SE23 a doable ride to Sydenham High. Not that either was a factor for us.
