the only people who win are the lawyers. Costs the councils money. Costs the applicants money. Even if they win it's a process thing so it doesn't mean the decisions

The irony of the same old posters in the Brixton Buzz comments complaining about the tatty state, graffiti and vandalism of the Shakespeare Road planters being the very same campaign cheering on and justifying vandalism of said planters.

Of course that's what I want, I've never said otherwise.
I want them removed and then proper consultations with all the residents in the affected area. If the residents decide to put them back or not then that's an end to it.
It's always been more about Lambeths behaviour and complete disregard for most of the people affected than about a few plant pots in the road.

What's the "affected area" and how does the consultation determine what people want? Is there a vote?

It was never the case that there would be no consultation at all though.
What better way to find out what something is like?. These schemes need time to bed in.

new twitter account "One Lambeth Justice" making a completely tasteful connection between stopping rat running traffic and, er, [edited - that's not a recent pic] 1980's? Police treatment of black youth in their choice of profile pic.

Covid bike and walking schemes do not delay ambulances, trusts say
FOI responses also reveal no schemes introduced without relevant service being consulted
Useful work from Cycling UK getting FOI responses from ambulance trusts - I don't know if there was a response from the ambulance trust covering this LTN but they should all be available to the public if someone wanted to look through them for one.

There's only one argument against them. "I don't want to be mildly inconvenienced for the sake of others". That's it. That's all they have.Covid bike and walking schemes do not delay ambulances, trusts say

It’s been interesting. I suspect the genie is out of the bottle now and people won’t enjoy the resumption of rat running when it’s allowed again. Add chronic air pollution, concerns about climate change and the Trumpish response of the pro-rat-running lobby and I foresee a much more anti-car regime being on place in a couple of years from now.

Changes to the A23. It's been a long time since I cycled through Brixton, Its such a mess I avoid it entirely.

TfL to introduce bike lane trial along A23 from Oval, Brixton and Streatham (including Brixton Road)
The busy main drag through Brixton has always been a perilous route for cyclists, and TfL have responded with plans of a new bike lane trial and ways to improve bus efficiency. Here’s what La…

The main road between Oval and Streatham, the A23, is set to get extra cycle safety measures under a new TfL trial project
Details: A23 Oval - Streatham - Transport for London - Citizen Space
Summary:
From Oval to Brixton, the changes are mostly just enlarging ASLs, removing parkling bays and a load of bike symbols painted on the road.
Also, new ASL at Vassall Road junction
Bus lanes widened on the wide bit of Brixton Road just North of the Railway (so it's effectively 2 lanes of bus/bikes and 1 lane of cars each way, instead of 1 and 2)
Zero material change through Brixton center apart form the ASLs are enlarged a little bit.
Brixton Hill bus lanes made 24/7, ASLs enlarged
Barely seems worth the effort. The "early release" cycle phases at lights will be nice, but I'll still be going round, not through, Brixton center.
Certainly not worth using the words "bike lane"

If it isn't physically separated from cars, it isn't a bike lane IMHO. It's just paint.

It's not even paint. It's just removing loading bays and making bus lanes 24/7
The road is wide enough (for 90% of its length) for a fully segregated lane, but there's no money for that sort of thing at TfL any more.

Few years back the Council tenants on Loughborough estate along with their good Labour Cllr Rachel Heywood opposed Council road closures and won.
I don't see in my area clamour from my nearby working class Council tenants for this Council to reinstate an LTN on their patch.
Council have wisely left Loughborough Junction alone whilst implementing new LTNs elsewhere.

I dont get it.
If One Lambeth use legal methods to oppose LTNs they are wasting "taxpayers money".
If some people mouth off on social media it shows One Lambeth are socially bigots.
As a neutral in this from what I can see is that those people organised to oppose LTNs can't win in eye of those fervant supporters.

Rachel Heywood. Thats a name I have not heard in a long time. She was good to us and its terrible what they did to her.
Don't think the junction isn't up in arms. Seeing the impact of these schemes all over again.
First thing the vaccinated elderly around me want to do? Have a F2F with the councillors.

Yesterday the equivalent One Hackney group* lost their application to the High Court to submit a judicial review case to remove the LTNs.
Lost mostly (I think) on procedural grounds - they submitted their application too late, which for a JR is sadly an expensive mistake.
*the second one as the funds from the initial fundraising drive were taken by one of the group admins to launch his own UKIP type political election campaign.
More LTN infrastructure is going in across Hackney but using ANPR instead of bollards (to allow emergency services).
