Yes but they are planning to consult and get them reinstated (or some form of traffic controls at least)Looks like Sutton are removing the LTNs

They will remove the LTN, consult with residents and act based on the consultations. Pretty much what people have been asking for the last 8 months.

Considerably more Brixton.
No need to remove them to do that. Delay, defer, long grass. If there are genuine problems, tweak them. There are a pretty limited number of ways to modify the road network to remove traffic and make the streets safer for walking and cycling and if the those opposing current measures haven't managed to research and propose a viable alternative by now they're never going to.

" we have no choice given the legal judgement. "
Their lawyers seem to think otherwise.

Croydon council at Crystal Palace. They issued a report on the 12th January
Their intention was, despite their own surveys results, to continue with a version of the LTN.
The judgement came out and they decided to just remove the LTN and wait to see what happened in the courts before continuing.

That's obviously complete bollocks given TfL themselves are not changing anything (including Bishopsgate itself) before the appeal is heard.

Just repeating what Sutton Council said in their statement.
Croydon Council seem to think it serious enough to remove the LTN this week and stop any further plans until it's resolved.

Yes, I know. And adding you own spin to it.
Croydon council used it to justify something they'd already announced they were doing. Other boroughs (and TfL) have made no changes to their schemes.
Make of that what you will

Let's see what happens in the courts tomorrow and with TfLs appeal to appeal.
If I was inclined to bet I'd put my money on the institutions with the deepest pockets and the least to lose on a personal level.

I actually went and read the Sutton doc over lunch and there is now a legal opinion appendix. Whatever else they've decided this seems pretty unambiguous (and their emphasis not mine)

Could you share a link to that as I can't see it on their site, probably my poor google skills

The Railton Road parklet from the other side. No plants in yet but I guess it’s not the appropriate weather this week.
Spotted one on Jelf too.

I took some pics last night and chatted to two lads from Bradford who were enjoying some cans there.

At risk of going a bit off topic for this thread -

Popping up outside the Hamilton supermarket on Railton Road is this wooden ‘parklet,’ providing seating within the controversial Railton Road Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN).

I anticipate the comments section under this article soon filling up with people accusing Brixton Buzz of unforgivable bias by virtue of simple recording the existence of this thing.
I think there are problems with the way that this was implemented and some people have justification for being pissed off, but the way some of the anti-LTN mob behave is way out of order.

Today ws the day so been keeping an eye out. Court update from the Lambeth case
"So.... This morning at 10.30am the Judge found in our favour, that we have a case to be heard! And it will be heard in June 2021.
This gives us time to raise the funds for the case. Remember WE WIN LAMBETH FOOTS THE BILL WE WILL BE REFUNDED OUR COSTS!
Please let’s do this together The judge was extremely firm and fair.
WE HAVE A GOOD STRONG CASE AND GREAT LEGAL TEAM WHO KNOW THEIR SH**!
the Judge even commented on the waste of taxpayers money.
Xxx Sofia"
