Loads of support eh.
I’d say 90-100. There were people from other boroughs and people passing by.

Slush
But still polling less than Binface and still wouldn’t have any power to change LTNs. And she’s saying that whilst standing next to banners that say the Lambeth Council put in the ltns - is she proposing taking over all councils?
Same applies to Bailey of course.

I note Shaun Bailey says he'll scrap "unwanted" LTNs.
Unwanted by who?
Anyway, he'll not be mayor and as snowy_again says even if he was it wouldn't be in his power.

One Lambeth are helping to raise funds her case and from what I saw giving her a lot of moral support. She seemed pleased with their support.

What a shower of twats.
Not saying she is (I don't know her) but as a broader point - vulnerable/lonely/isolated/excluded people often seem pleased with what they think is support even when actually what it is, is exploitation.
Hope this is not the case here, that's all.

Being disabled does not equal being vulnerable /lonely /isolated.

Hardly getting over it.
We here in Lambeth have their former Chief Exec, Andrew "Sleepy" Travers. The man who almost completely Capita-ised Barnet's services.
I am well aware of that fact, cheers.
It does not guarantee not being, though, does it.

Are you saying One Lambeth are doing this?

My impression of the demo is that One Lambeth are composed of local people.
Cllr Briggs is doing his job as a Cllr to represent people's view. He said at demo that people not happy with LTNs might not support his Conservative politics.
There were a lot of locals standing up to say what they think. Small business and residents. Gentrification came up. For some this is another example of how Council is helping to gentrify area. That LTNs are middle class idea. For middle class lycra clad cyclists.
No one wants to compromise. They just want to get rid of all of it.
The judicial review is going to be about equally issue and lack of consultation. It was argued that the only serious consultation was done with a few groups. Lambeth Cyclists being one of them.
A lot of candidates for Mayor turned up. I left at three so only got Shaun Bailey and Farah London. Agree with snowy_again I don't see how if elected Mayor these candidates could get rid of LTNs. As it is for Councils to decide.
