Well done @LewishamCouncil for charging the most polluting car drivers more for parking (it is making the local Facebook group VERY cross).

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.

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.

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.
