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:

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.
