"Red Guard"(NLYL)
teuchter snowy_again the One Lewisham website is a clear winner in my opinion.
Seems to stick to the facts rather than dispute the ideology.
Their strapline - "Healthy streets for all" is an aspiration no-one could quarrel with.
The One Lewisham counter-anaylsis of Lewisham Council's policy justification leaflet is clear.
Living in Lewisham Borough is the traffic equivalent to living under an approach to Heathrow Airport I imagine.
Nearly 40 years back I attended a Brixton Society meeting where a motorway campaigner showed a film contrasting the rural delights of the South Circular Road with the urban hell of the North Circular Road. All this on Super 8 with projector and portable screen. The point was to campaign against making or replacing the South Circular with a more authentic ring-road (as has been on the cards since World War II).
It's a shame this film is not extant. The flipping from Vivaldi's Four Seasons on the South Circular to super-enhanced traffic noise on the North Circular was a dramatic example of music as agitprop.
As you know I live on Coldharbour Lane. My subjective feeling is that since the Coronavirus outbreak there have been more cars parked up on the street. - night and day. And on both sides. As a non-car owner I don't know what the rules are. But it was normal until recent times for cars to park on the north side and never on the south side.
This rule seems to have been sidelined now.
I guess in LTNs its the same thing. So long as you have a parking permit you can clog up the side-roads. Just make sure no-one else is allowed to drive down them?
