So many exciting proposals from @lambeth_council as to how to make the now permanent Oval to Stockwell #LTN work even better for all! At first glance they look amazing. It's consultation time so please send your feedback via ovalltnproposals.commonplace.is

@Onebiskuit @EmilyKerr36 @AntiEVidiots @jonburkeUK @psimonk Hi. You might be referring to this? twitter.com/SaveOvalStreet…

Fentiman Road in Lambeth's Oval LTN has been absolutely transformed. New planting & SUDS, seating, bike parking. Looks fantastic. Great work @lambeth_council @RezinaChowdhury @clairekholland

How it started (pre-2020) v How it's going (now)

We interrupt our radio silence to encourage all our friends to support our sibling Lambeth LTNs-to-be in Stockwell and Slade Gardens. Find out more about how you can help efforts to make our neighbours' streets liveable for all stockwellgardensltn.commonplace.is sladegardensltn.commonplace.is

Albert Square in Oval is looking mighty fine! @SOSFentimanRd @SaveOvalStreets

And it’s getting warmer….

For my own area of Lambeth, a massive 58% of households have no cars or vans. Since 2001, the number of such households has increased by half. When petrolheads attack LTNs and clean air zones, remember: they are a declining minority. That's why anti-LTN campaigners do so badly.

Nationally, car ownership in England & Wales continues to rise - and no-car households to fall in number. But while only 23% of households are no-car nationally, that jumps to 42% in London (with Lambeth at 58% and Islington a whopping 67%.

Short thread: The 2021 Census data on car/van availability by household in England & Wales is finally out. Good news: Lambeth (my area) and London continue significantly to buck a national trend of falls in no-car households. ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulati…)

Huge active travel announcement from Lambeth council: three new LTN trials to get going in Streatham Wells, Brixton Hill, and West Dulwich, plus development work on four new LTNs in Stockwell Gardens, Slade Gardens, Myatt's Fields and Angell Town to begin love.lambeth.gov.uk/lambeth-counci…

Richly deserved reward, clearly!!

Woohoo! 🤲 Looks like this - or something very like it - is going to become reality, perhaps as soon as next spring.... Our #LTN really will be permanent then - and looking amazing! moderngov.lambeth.gov.uk/ieDecisionDeta…

Happy birthdays @LambethLivingSt!

Thank you You are very welcome!

If you think people with bike cameras go out looking for people breaking the law, don't worry, we don't have to look, it's just too hard to miss. This is a collection of 5 of the worst from one single 30 min commute, featuring @RailtonLTN.

@RailtonLTN Seems like everyone drives everywhere in the countryside as well!

Ventured outside Lambeth to the outskirts of London where everyone drives everywhere. Hardly anyone walking or travelling by bike because the roads are so hostile. Came back to Railton road and there were so many people walking and cycling. Beautiful.

More please!

Archive photos of criminal damage to @TulseHillLTN illustrating this great piece by @GeorgeMonbiot on the way #LTNs liberate our streets & neighbourhoods Spoiler alert: in much of Lambeth #activetravel is winning. Still a lot more to do here & elsewhere theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@lawkas @RailtonLTN Trafalgar Square is not for the faint hearted, as they say

An interesting journey into central London and home. Love all the segregated bike lanes, @SaveOvalStreets @RailtonLTN were brilliant. Is cycling through Trafalgar Square and down Brixton road always slightly terrifying? Did see the Changing of the Guard and Big Ben.

The proposals for @RailtonLTN filters are looking amazing 🙌🏼 Tell the council you support them here: rtstreets.commonplace.is/en-GB/
