Brixton Liveable Neighbourhood and LTN schemes - improvements for pedestrians and cyclists

[snowy_again]

The lack engagement that OL is getting on Twitter seems to be making them more extreme in their posts.

This morning has included “Labour rich white elite in their gentrified enclaves” and references to “the creation of ghettoes, pogroms and death camps”.

Is it known if OLJ is run by communists, or just endorsed communists a few times?

New seating planters at the bottom end of Railton Road were being filled with soil and plants this morning.

Definitely a lot of OneLambeth supporters who are really confused about the court case and what it might achieve....

"please donate to overturn this undemocratic imposition of road closures that benefit the few to the detriment of the many."

as a strategy it really does seem to be backfiring

It just bizarre - like the vandalism what do they think these tweets are going to achieve? Maybe it’s just to stir up their base to get them to donate again.

 

[edcraw]

The more reasonable OneLambeth has condemned the batshit crazy one. Will you as well chowce5382?

 

[snowy_again]

I imagine as one of that original OL is a lawyer and can’t seem to be associated with that sort of thing?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Suffering fuck, these people are utterly unhinged.

Also horseshoe theory in practice. This is the poster that the people’s front of OL originally tweeted:

They posted this. Apparently people are concerned that LTN’s will stop people fleeing terrorist attacks.

Can you imagine the distress of having to drive at speed through an LTN barrier in order to avoid a terrorist atrocity in progress, only to subsequently get a £65 bill from Lambeth?.

This alone is justification of replacing all LTNs with 3 lane motorways so as to facilitate rapid escape from such things

Wow

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Another argument being vomited up is that apparently quiet LTN streets are more dangerous for kids, because they lull them into a false sense of security and they won’t know how to cross a road safely anymore.

I’m not making this up.

Excellent I hope the drivers will pick up some pedestrians as they flee an attack on Ferndale Rd or are they collateral damage . Serves them right for not having a car. What the hell will we do when the aliens arrive

There was a pro LTN deputation and an anti one at council this evening, democracy in action. The anti one had to be removed for constantly interrupting Cllr Danny Adilypour’s response .

 

[Gramsci]

I’ve been trying to engage in a wider discussion with you but you’re not interested, fair enough but don’t accuse me of wanting to make court cases harder or calling them illegitimate.

Its clearly what you've been doing.

I don't see what me posting up my reading of the judgement has to do with a wider discussion as you put it.

This stuff about me and wider discussion is about trying to discredit me.

I'm not going to play your game.

You can see the deputations with the link below from 7:50.

You can also see a terribly patronising response to the youth council from Cllr Tim Brigs at 47:00 if interested.

Ah, working for me but only through the Teams app.

Thanks for the link. Interesting to hear Cllr Adilypour saying that if the vandalism of the filters doesn't stop, they would think about putting in barriers.
And Cllr Briggs.... I didn't even get what he was trying to say?

Not sure he knew what he was trying to say. I suspect he wanted to call them woke (as he likes to do) but even he realised that wouldn’t be a good look.

clearly why the pro ltn types and foxes are doing it

The areshole son of the house 2 doors down from us has finally moved out. He has moved 8 minutes' walk away. His new place is on the way to school so I see him regularly and I recognise his car. He drives it back and forth, acclerating like it's a race up our 100m long dead-end street to (as far as I can tell) shout at his mother, leaving the car in the middle of the road with the sound system cranked up. Even with his reckless driving, it's slower to drive all the way round the LTN than to walk the same journey. No wonder he's always angry.

Sounds a bit like the guy who regularly appears at the motor mechanics' near me.

Hardly any traffic on Croxted yesterday or this morning during the rush hour, it's all the school run.

 

[teuchter]

Dunno if this will be worth watching.

This looks utterly unbearable. There's Jeopardy on Netflix, you don't need a true or false quiz as basic as this.

That youth council panel was really strong. Made Cllr Briggs look a little bit more out of date and irrelevant to his constituents.

The OL thing - one of them was a lawyer, but unlike the youth panel they couldn’t stick to time or hadn’t rehearsed what their key messages were. Massive missed opportunity for them.

As was the case pre-pandemic. There was a big drop in traffic at peak time the last time I was on the No 3, when the private schools were apparently off, but before the rest of the schools. Not so many videos from the Croxted Road accounts for the last wee while for some reason, and the fact that kids being driven to posh schools seems to be causing a lot of congestion hasn't been picked up by those who bang on about "social injustice", oddly.
