Plans are out for some improvements to Northwold Rd and @hackneydownsltn. At @hackney_cycling we spent a lot of effort mapping where cycle #Gateways were needed. One of the locations is right here. But the proposals ignore it. Can we discuss please? @metecoban92@carowoodley
So for whatever it's worth, please take a few minutes to fill in the consultation today, and ask for action to fix this problem that we've known about for ages. Tell the council not to waste any more money finding out something we already know. Thank you

Removing through-traffic doesnโt prevent people from accessing places by car. But it encourages high rates of walking and cycling, and more considerate driving. @hackneydownsltn

Who wants a low traffic Stamford Hill West? Traffic calming, filters, more cycle lanes & hangers, enforced School Streets. Whoโs in? DM us to help us get the campaign started #lowtraffichackney#stamfordhillwest#LTN
Hi @hackneycouncil and @alastairis I fail to understand why there is no enforcement of the Benthal Road LTN -- I see cars going through the filter constantly and even during school street hours. This morning in just a few minutes 4 vehicles went through just after 09:00.
Failure to fix Stean Street bollards rewards least law abiding, most entitled and most dangerous drivers. This is undermining the whole LTN & putting people at risk. Hundreds of cars a day going through. Please put us back and this time lock us down! @hackneycouncil@metecoban92
