Schemes that worsen congestion on community roads & bus routes, increase toxic emissions that shorten lives and stunt children's lung & brain growth.

Andrew Hanson from Better Streets West Dulwich, whose partner Anna Goodman, the academic producing favourable research on LTNs, was caught on camera removing a LTN opposition poster from a shop said "it's much easier to talk to your neighbours when there aren't 200 cars an hour going past your front door." That's ten cars every three minutes. Mr Hanson said the roads within the LTN were "never intended to take these volumes of traffic [3 cars a minute]". The kerbside on the roads within the LTN are filled with parked cars, as are the driveways, sometimes 2 or 3 cars per household. Yet LTN car owners believe three cars a minute is too many for their high car ownership road and should be relocated to the community roads used by 6,000 school children and onto the bus routes used by less affluent non-car owning residents.
