“BUT I need my car because I’m going to work/shopping/bulk buying/taking people to school/hospital”—so is everyone else! We’re also great believers in bulk buying! But if you must drive, you can leave a few mins earlier. It’s not that hard.

There is no middle ground on road danger. #WestHamParkLTN

Nice thread here on the situation with the #WestHamParkLTN, which in another survey had satisfied 59% of residents and has had positive outcomes for congestion, safety, and air quality—but is still being sent back for reconsideration.

We naturally hope the decision makers won’t change their mind.

The committee has now sent the officers' decision to make the scheme permanent back to the council after members raised concerns that there wasn't a 'clear majority' in favour of keeping it.

In a council survey, 51% supported the LTN while 47% did not. mgov.newham.gov.uk/documents/s1...

What a great day to show how #WestHamParkLTN is making a difference already, even after a few bouts of vandalism. We think most people, even those not keen on it now, will see the benefits of not having to share their street with people from outside Newham using it as a shortcut.

This morning some of us joined the Park Primary School #bikebus - it was such a joyous way to start the week - & also illustrated how important safe routes for walking, scooting & riding to school are! @plaistovian.bsky.social @rokhsanafiaz.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social

What makes #WestHamParkLTN so great? It's the 1st time our council is improving the side streets AND the main road (Romford Road) at the same time! Our vision is that everyone deserves to walk & cycle in safety on their street, no matter where in Newham they live. #WestHamPark
alt="A residential street which has been narrowed with wooden planter boxes at a junction, and traffic signs saying “no motor vehicles except permit holders WHP01, CCTV enforcement on Ham Park Road starts 25 Nov 24.” The street is nice and peaceful with a pedestrian crossing on the corner comfortably. The late afternoon sun casts a golden light on fallen leaves. There is no through traffic to be seen."

Our vision is that everyone who wants to cycle in Newham should feel safe on every street, from busy main roads to residential backstreets. Keeping drivers on the main road if they're just passing through gives local streets back to people who live there, and to visitors to the area. #WestHamParkLTN
