Low traffic neighbourhoods in Hackney and Islington make it possible for me & thousands of others to travel sustainably with kids. It really is as simple as that.

Changes to Lambeth’s streets are in the news again. Here’s our view in the Guardian: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Valley Road has been a sewer in recent months & it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. I hope the kid gets better soon. We need the LTN reinstalled as a matter of urgency. Still no sign of when the A23 works are going to happen though… www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/03/resi...

Sobering piece on the appalling state of road danger on Valley Road. Something must be done. @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social @clairekholland.bsky.social www.brixtonbuzz.com/2025/03/resi...

This is so terrifying. Valley Road is becoming a worse death trap than the High Street Please bring back our LTN and stop this madness!

Please avoid Valley Road. Very sad to report that a child has been hit by a vehicle on Valley Road and the police have closed the road. Wishing the child a full and speedy recovery.

You heard it here first - it's the buses fault that there is traffic

Life in an ex-LTN. 8am.

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times. "We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

Looking good on Valley Road, just as nature intended. Believe it or not, this school has a 'school street' Any news on the next steps for Streatham Wells LTN or the years-delayed high road scheme? @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social @willnorman.co.uk

Here's how it started: the switch from streets being dominated by pedestrians, with cars as the guests / interlopers, to what we have now: streets for cars, pedestrians having to look out for themselves. It used to be different; it needs to be again.

This is not just a London thing. Driving is most convenient for many We need: 1. pay as go you road pricing to make driving short trips in urban areas less convenient. 2. Amended vehicle tax to tax bigger and heavier vehicles more. 3. Lowered speed limits. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Happy new year! To kick off 2025 we bring inspiration from our friends in Copenhagen🇩🇰 Just look at this space reserved for family cargo bike parking. Truly a thing of beauty🌳 🚲 Come on Lambeth - we know you can do this too! #familycycling #cleanair #schoolrun @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social

Excellent (and seemingly pretty accurate) isochrone generator. How far can you cycle from Streatham in 15 / 30 / 45 minutes?

Now to Streatham Wells LTN, that has been in the news. Also a downward trend. Lambeth - Streatham Green - Urban - By a boundary road (A23) N02 readings - automatic air pollution sensor (Jan 2010 - Jan 2025)

Here is a picture of the Social and Environmental Justice that can be achieved by ripping out LTNs! (Valley Rd is one of the roads that was previously filtered in the abandoned Streatham Wells LTN)

Happy New Year from Valley Road

Valley Road. The absolute state of it. We need an LTN back.

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

Waterstones @waterstones.bsky.social unexpectedly opened their new #Streatham High Road bookshop late on Friday afternoon and immediately attracted plenty of customers, with queues forming at the tills within the first hour.

Cargo bike storage..its a real (and easily solvable) blocker to wider adoption of these amazing family workhorses More cargo bikes = fewer car trips = happier & healthier communities @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social lets fix this! #cargosleighbay #cargohanger #bikeparking @solveschoolrun.bsky.social

Yet another crash this afternoon at this ridiculously busy and dangerous mini roundabout

Does anyone know anything about these bikes? The price seems too good to be true... uk.fiido.com/products/fii...

Here’s my starter pack for UK/EU people in Active Travel. As loads more keep coming I may need to update it so LMK if anyone’s missing. go.bsky.app/GYyLGPA

Hello bluesky! Looking forward to building a nicer and healthier place over here
