Hi @RedwingCoaches - one of your coaches mounted the pavement and destroyed a bollard while lots of children were walking to school on Valley Road this morning. This is dangerous driving on a street with weight restrictions.

Had a very productive meeting with Tfl this morning re the Streatham Hill / A23 cycle lanes / new crossings / bus stops. Contrary to the misinformation some are sharing, the bus stops, crossings & protected cycle lanes WILL BE INCLUSIVE & ACCESSIBLE. Including for VI folk. 💅🏻

I went to the TfL / Lambeth exhibition of plans for the new cycle lanes on Streatham High Road. It looks great. When I arrived there were lots of drivers chanting “better things aren’t possible” & “let’s never improve anything.” Construction starts in 6 weeks, can’t wait.

We are dismayed our LTN is to be removed given the multiple community benefits and wide spread support 😔 We ask Lambeth council to reintroduce it after consulting on a permanent traffic order 💚 #SaveOurLTN

**STREATHAM WELLS SAFER NEIGHBOURHOOD WARD MEETING** Thursday 19th June 6:30-7:30pm, Dunraven School, Leigham Court Road SW16 2QB **Join #StreathamWells police & Cllrs @MalcolmClark77 & myself Please share this far & wide on your street and school WhatsApp groups!

We would like to offer HUGE thanks to everyone who has supported us so far. If you have not done so, there is still time to comment on the change of use. If you have problems with the Lambeth portal, you can send an email. All the information here - streathamhilltheatre.org/campaign

@RezinaChowdhury Like London Buses! x.com/LiveableWells/…

Lower Marsh in Waterloo. Pedestrianised and clearly with very chill licensing laws. Even the greengrocer has people on tables outside drinking wine! More of this! A more fun world is possible!

Giving children some space back, denied to them by the phenomenal rise of motor vehicles 💚 #LTN #SaveOurLTN

The mystery zebra crossing on Valley Road feels like more than a prank. It feels like a message: “We want safety. We want our streets back. And if you won’t protect us, maybe we’ll protect each other.”

Something strange has appeared on Valley Road: a zebra crossing… that no one can officially explain. No @lambeth_council signs. No announcement. Just fresh paint. No one seems to know who did it. But many say: “It should’ve been done a long time ago.”

@NFBUK @LordPeterHendy @MayorofLondon It’s disingenuous to say he wasn’t consulted. We’ve both been at meetings where it was discussed in length. There’s a lot of support for this locally -those pushing back are wealthier 🚗 owners who don’t want streets for ppl. Genuinely don’t see how it’s “inaccessible” at all.
