Low Traffic Hackney

Cycling in Parks ​ Hackney is blessed with amazing parks which are enjoyed by park visitors but also often used as routes to walk wheel or cycle in or through.  As supporters of safe and inclusive walking wheeling...

People can sometimes have strong opinions about cycling in parks. Here is Low Traffic Hackney’s view on how to share the space & keep our parks inclusive for everyone:

Thanks… Hopefully it was obvious from the article we’re not supporting an antiLTN campaign… but just in case we have amended it to make it clearer!

Which street needs this next in Exeter?

A few years ago over 2000 angry people signed a petition against Church Street bus gate.
They said nobody agreed, it would hurt small businesses & destroy the high street. www.hamhigh.co.uk/news/2110921...
Watch how it turned out here:

Out in Finsbury Park today with our neighbours @islington-council.bsky.social @rowchampion.bsky.social and Haringey Council’s Cllr Ibrahim Ali and @londoncycling.bsky.social looking at how to work with Transport for London to extend Cycleway C50 so we can ride safely through all of our boroughs.

Hoxton Street dominated by cars. A local high street which suffers from speeding and illegal parking making it less attractive to shop on

In an area where 75% of households don’t drive, having a car-dominated high street harms local shops. See plans for Hoxton LTN, & how it could be improved, here:

We don’t just want more and better LTNs, we want Hackney main roads to change. 10% of Hackney residents live on main roads, and we want those people to feel the benefit too.

East London residents win sensational victory in fight to save low-traffic schemes London-wide implications for LTNs as Court of Appeal rules that Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman acted unlawfully in trying to ignore Sadiq Khan’s transport masterplan

After 2+ years of legal battles, the Court of Appeal has ruled in our favour.
Tower Hamlets cannot lawfully remove our safer streets. A huge precedent for London.
