Railton & Oval-Stockwell LTN trial data shows a traffic reduction of almost 19,000 & 5,800 vehicles a day respectively.
After consultation, we’re therefore recommending both schemes become permanent to support our goals to increase

Two criminals who’ve been vandalising
@lambeth_council
LTNs were arrested over the weekend.
If you put our residents at risk & waste taxpayer money by engaging in acts of criminality, we’ll come after you with the full force of the law.
Enough is enough.
Our new

:
🚲Free cycle parking every 50m & secure bike storage every 100m.
🌳Trees at least every 25m.

Pleased the courts have once more found in our favour on LTNs.
Tackling structural inequities on our streets & in our neighbourhoods has always been at the heart of our work to make streets safer, healthier & fairer.
We’ll continue to work with residents to deliver this agenda.
The legal challenge against
#Lambeth
's Low Traffic Neighbourhoods has been dismissed on all grounds.
We've always believed our commitment to work with residents to make our streets safer & healthier complies with the law & today's judgement confirms this.
My article for

on how Low Traffic Neighbourhoods can play a vital role in reducing vehicle traffic, increasing active travel and tackling air pollution in residential areas.

Last week, the people in Lambeth entrusted us to continue leading our wonderful borough. We will work hard everyday to repay that trust, and together we will build a fairer, more equal Lambeth for all.
#OnYourSide
We’re sadly experiencing high levels of vandalism at our Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.
This puts our residents at risk & we’ve had to spend taxpayers’ money repairing the damage.
We’re now putting new measures in place & will prosecute those responsible.
Just voted to re-elect

Free school meals, record numbers of council homes, TfL fares frozen and delivery of the Hopper fare, Superloop & Elizabeth line is a record to be proud of, with ambitious pledges of more to come.

🐸 Rainwater ponds on housing estates will create new habitats for toads & newts.
Seems like some people have fallen down conspiracy theory rabbit holes….
Just to confirm, we haven’t used “fake cyclists” or hired actors to cycle through LTNs 😂
And no, I don’t know where Lord Lucan or Shergar are either!
#AirQuality

has improved hugely, but there’s more to do.
Cabinet is now being asked to agree to set the most ambitious air quality targets of any London borough.
We aim to be a case study in how to drive down
#pollution
in an urban area by being as bold as possible.
Pleased to announce we’ve ended the use of glyphosate on
#Lambeth
streets ahead of schedule.
This is another positive step which shows our commitment to reduce our environmental impact & make sure Lambeth is a place people want to live, work & invest in.
Our new Kerbside Strategy for
#Lambeth

We can now get on with the important work needed to reinstate 25% of our kerbside as shared public space, with more trees, cycle storage and seating areas to benefit all residents across the borough.
Tonight, Lambeth's Cabinet approved our new Kerbside Strategy! 🅿️🚲🌿👪♿️⚡️
Now, this ground-breaking work can begin🎯 By 2030, we'll be reinstating 25% of our kerbside as shared public space for people, not just cars.

We’re committed to continuing to increase cycle storage so more residents without storage space can choose to cycle.
This will take us to over 380 hangars across the borough, with many more to come!
Yes, this really is the One Lambeth anti-LTN campaign group comparing our Low Traffic Neighbourhood trials with the systematic persecution and industrial scale murder of millions of Jewish people.
Grotesquely offensive & sadly demonstrates how out of touch with reality they are.
Today we’ve launched our new

Think it’s very telling that Lambeth’s only Conservative councillor chooses to criticise me for calling out LTN vandalism, rather than those committing the vandalism….
And yes we will name and shame anyone found guilty. This behaviour is dangerous & puts our residents at risk.
It's not every day at work that you get to meet one of your childhood heroes!
Was a pleasure to meet

A British boxing legend, a great role model and a very dapper dresser!
It was great to visit Endymion Road in Tulse Hill and see for myself the fantastic results after residents signed up to the

Around 150 streets have signed up so far. You can find out more and sign up your street here 👇
