@simonjcalvert @LBofBromley PRESS ENQUIRY Simon I'm a freelance journalist writing and editing the News From Crystal Palace website newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com Would you know the original source of this report please? Jerry Green newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

@LBofBromley Also interesting that Bromley, a Borough with no LTNs has a downward casualty trend since 2017 vs say LTN obsessed Hackney which is increasing.

The number of people killed or seriously injured on Bromley’s roads reduced by 51% between 2005-9 and 2020-24, the largest reduction of any London borough bromley.gov.uk/news/article/9…

@indieHackney @hackneycouncil @andrewellson @madeinbolivia @hackneycitizen @hackneygazette @hackneypost @HackneyLabour @SocEnvJustice @ZoeGarbett @theLDNstandard PRESS ENQUIRY Clair Are the photos of the two schools taken by you? If so, please could I have your OK to use them as part of a diary piece? Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

#Spotthedifference Guess which school across from a park has no thru traffic, is in an LTN & has majority White Upper Middle Class intake. Guess which is on a now more polluted road sacrificed by @hackneycouncil & has a majority Black & Brown Working Class intake.

@BladeoftheS Unfortunately this is fake news - and look athe way AP spelled 'barrs'....

@JAlaszewski @LewishamCouncil @TfL @Sustrans PRESS ENQUIRY Jane If the photos accompanying your comments on the A20 pavement are yours please could I have your OK to use them as part of a news item? Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

@LewishamCouncil @TfL The A20 pavement this morning 👇 Wonder if @sustrans will be locating one of their pollution-busting benches here so bus users and pedestrians can sit next to the rubbish, diesel freight and coaches and wave as the LTN’s nimbies pass by us in their 4x4s 🤔

@intermax @gamecounsel @richardwillq @lambeth_council @EventLambeth The planning documents show it was actually approved on the Thursday but thanks for the post. Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

@gamecounsel @richardwillq @lambeth_council @EventLambeth I like the entries for ' Important Dates' on the portal for the application! Site notice expiry date: 9 June. It must be the first time in the history of the universe that Lambeth planning validated an application on the same day that it was received.

We need to hear this from @lambeth_council with a confirmation that all necessary planning permissions are in place.

@SocStreatham @StLeonardsSW16 @heartstreatham @LambethArchives @Better_WHS @tootingnewsie The Streatham News and South London Press would have had major stories on this.

5th May 2025 is the 50th anniversary of the fire at St Leonard's Church. We are keen to hear from anyone who remembers the fire and rebuild of the church so that we can incorporate stories at our events. Email streathamsoc@gmail.com #StLeonardschurchfire #streathamhistory

Many Thanks Jerry Green newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

@DavidHu05137188 @Keir_Starmer Yes, the same people driving cars responsible for C02, NO2 and PM2.5 transport emissions are lobbying MPs, councillors and City Hall to implement LTN schemes that relocate traffic & emissions from their affluent high car ownership roads onto community roads & bus routes. 👇🏾👇🏾

Those most responsible for C02, NO2 and PM2.5 transport emissions are lobbying MPs, councillors and City Hall to implement LTN schemes that relocate traffic & emissions from their high car ownership roads onto less affluent community roads & bus routes. 🌹Labour? @Keir_Starmer

@richardwillq @lambeth_council PRESS ENQUIRY Richard. I can't find this on either Lambeth Facebook or X ex Twitter. I'd like to run a story but just want to check it's not last year's. Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

@lambeth_council not this again. Last year it was use old newspaper and store your left over turkey in the fridge. This year wrap presents in old maps or rags. The council wouldn’t be in such a dire mess if it simply focused on core services instead of putting out nonsense like this.

Turn your wrapping waste-free this Christmas🎄🎁 Use recyclable paper, fabric scraps, or even old maps for extra charm and eco-love📜✂️🎁💚 What’s your favorite eco-friendly wrapping idea?💡 Share it with us💬

@LittleNinjaUK PRESS ENQUIRY I'm unable to copy your response about the Tower Hamlets court case. Please could you email it to me at jerry.green85@googlemail.com Many thanks Jerry Green newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

The question facing the High Court isn't just about traffic management — it's about what kind of city we want London to be. Do we want wealthier neighbourhoods with high car ownership to be protected from the traffic & pollution they create or do we want all children to walk to school and play outside safely, where elderly and people with disabilities can feel confident catching a bus and where local communities thrive? This matters because Tower Hamlets, where 66% of households don’t own a car, has London's highest rate of hit-and-runs and some of the UK's worst air pollution on it's busy community roads. Do we just want to accept the idea that all traffic belongs on the community roads and bus routes where poor people and people of colour suffer the consequences of more affluent people's lifestyle choices? The court case is also about how boroughs work with the Mayor of London. His vision for safer, cleaner streets depends on borough-wide co-operation. Increasing vehicle miles driven and traffic congestion is to knowingly increase toxic vehicle emissions bad for public & planet health. Removing unsuccessful schemes like this makes achieving his “Vision Zero” and climate targets possible and sets an example that could spread across London, reversing the injustices of covid LTNs and floating bus stops. We are supporting this fight because the people of Tower Hamlets deserve better than the rushed decision to impose the LTN schemes that demonstrably worsened lives. They voted to remove LTNs and having seen these schemes in action, we believe they represent social & environmental injustice for London as a city. Whatever the court decides, the evidence is clear: traffic relocation schemes widen the health equality gap. The future of London's streets must be shaped by lived experience and community needs, not the wishes of cycle lobby groups, bias research papers and short-term needs for councils to generate income from motorists.

@ediz1975 @JourneysPlaces newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

Why are my council @JourneysPlaces wanting me to stay silent about this ? 4 years no evaporation…. They called our roads quiet …. Proving others a quiet road and ignoring the destruction outside them ,.,. We do not deserve to be threatened into silence ….

@ediz1975 @JourneysPlaces Please could you say who's threatening you? Jerry 2/3

@PhoebeEclair @lambeth_council PRESS ENQUIRY I'm a freelance journalist writing and editing the News From Crystal Palace website newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com I gather you have a housing problem with Lambeth but can't see the details on your X feed. Pleasse could you supply? Jerry NFCP

@SwkHeritage @lb_southwark CWGC website says: Commemorated at Tull 'en t waal Protestant cemetery joint grave 16 Netherlands. Croydon published two books on the service dead of both World Wars. Did Southwark's predecessors do anything similar?

We need your help! We are looking for any information about private Thomas Lawrence Beckett, no. 6098743, b.1921, son of Thomas and Nellie Beckett of Walworth. He served with 3rd Parachute Battalion and died liberating the Netherlands on September 25th 1944, at Oosterbeek.

@VincentStops QUICK PRESS ENQUIRY Which report is this from please? Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

This must be the most dangerous place to catch your bus in London. Bus stop bypass H, Balham, Wandsworth. Two pedestrian injuries. One serious injury to an 87 year old male catching his bus and one slight injury to a 6 year old child alighting their bus.

@DulwichCleanAir @mcash PRESS ENQUIRY Afternoon Please could you say where this is from? And where I can find it and any accompanying report which goes with it please? Cheers Jerry newsfromcrystalpalace.wordpress.com

The newly designed junction in Dulwich Village, meant to make it safer for pedestrians (!), will now require a fire engine to *mount* the pavement in 2 separate spots and avoid a tree to access. Beyond farcical. @mcash Lives are being put at risk for this incompetence.
