This is Olivia de Havilland.
At 104 years old she's still cycling.
The safer we make our streets, the more accessible they will be for everyone -- old, young and in between.
That's why low traffic neighbourhoods are so important.
Before the

, this road was often full of traffic.
Now an ambulance has a clear run to help someone in need, during peak our no less.
LTNs work.
It's 11.30pm on a Saturday.
A street that was once home to nothing but motor vehicles now hosts four friends, sharing a drink and a chat as one day blends into the next.
Our LTN is not only making our streets safer. It's bringing them to life.
We are delighted to hear that
@LambethCouncil
is recommending Oval to Stockwell and Railton and St. Matthew’s Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTNs) are made permanent. 1/
Last night in our LTN I saw three teenagers on Santander bikes laughing in the sunshine. A family with a cargo bike out on an adventure. Plus so many people out and about on foot.
Hot summer nights are better with an LTN.
I’m thrilled
@ArsenalWFC
now get to play regularly at The Emirates.
But it means Islington/Hackney councils can now make a small fortune from inflated parking charges every week rather than every other week.
*Extremely Salt-N-Pepa voice* Let's talk about consultation baby
By this point odds are you've come across someone - maybe a neighbour or a friend, but probably a black-cab driver on the internet - complaining about the "lack of consultation" on emergency LTNs around the country
I like living near a cinema, library, park, shops, school and coffee shops.
Who wouldn't want to walk to all of these places?
Why are people saying this is a bad thing?

Today is a big day for the

, because it's the day that the first Equalities Analysis of the new LTN is published.
Put simply -- it's a report looking into whether wins for some residents means losses for others.
Here's what the report found:

Who are they asking?
Not the unfit, the 30 years of age and upwards, not the elderly,not the people in any transport job.
GCC are intent on pushing it through so they manipulate figures to suit.
This is Pop Florist.
A local, car-free business who make the most of the LTN by delivering all of their goods by cargo bike.
RT if you want to see more of this in our community and everywhere else too.
(Also, get someone you love some flowers: )
Stopping drivers parking in the cycle lane and endangering vulnerable road users is a very good thing.
Very pleased Brixton Hill has some protection with bus lanes but it would be even better if they were segregated.
Thank you

Here is how much 81 the planters used to enforce Haringey’s LTNs cost you:
£72,090 to purchase the planters
£24,300 per annum in maintenance fees
From a Labour Council cutting back services & near to bankruptcy, this another shocking waste of public money.
Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ expansion forces the poorest Londoners to make a choice: pay £12.50 a day or pay thousands of pounds to upgrade your car.
This is a choice that Londoners do not want to be making in the middle of a cost of living crisis.
@NJROnline
speaks to BBC London.
What a difference an hour and a half makes.
After spending the day transforming a bare corner currently used for fly tipping, local residents stepped out to find all their hard work on Jelf Road, Brixton absolutely trashed.
Who would do this?
Guess how many people on bikes passed the Dog Star on Atlantic Road between 3.30pm and 4pm today?
71 cyclists in just 30 mins.
That's more than two bikes every minute!

Our very favourite secret artists have struck again.
This time by the planters at the park with no name.
Our LTN keeps getting better and better.

@BBCJustinR
Linking Sarah Everard to LTNs was the element I found particularly offensive. Sharing that film with no balance. Overall the lack of balance was really disappointing.
