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. A review of evidence of their effectiveness said that although formal studies were limited, they did not support the contention of opponents that LTNs simply displaced traffic to other streets rather than easing overall congestion. “The available evidence from the UK indicates that LTNs are effective in achieving outcomes of reducing traffic volumes within their zones while adverse impacts on boundary roads appear to be limited,” it read.

Wood pigeons strut about in my garden as if they own the place. It's amusing watching them try to work out how to access the bird feeder ports.

I've not heard of many moving to SE23 from SE22 or choosing SE23 over SE22 in the first place. Certainly Clapham and other expensive places to the west. It may be that this is my demographic but there was always a feeling that Forest Hill was rougher, off the beaten track, until the arrival of the Overground changed everything. 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. -

We are just having a little fun with the OP. I am sure someone who is planning to send their children to the Dulwich private schools need not consider the horror of "downgrading" to Forest Hill and our dreadful child exhausting geography.
