Herein lies our problem: “The other issue is that, to put it simply, cars are never just cars. They’re interwoven into our culture and consumption as symbols of affluence, independence, and success, and the aspiration to achieve those things in future.” wired.co.uk/article/car-fr…

This is a great step forward, though it would be nice to extend those protected lanes as far as possible. The westbound one could link onto the service road to bypass the bus stop. Eastbound lane has plenty of room for a protected lane from Canonbury Rd.

The brilliant people at Brewers paint shop in Islington have responded to LTNs by delivering all their paint by bike. Their shop service was on point and the delivery first class. Alex told me he is offering this service to many local businesses 💙 #CleanAir

.Intelligent Transport “Low Traffic Neighbourhoods can be hugely beneficial for (equitable) cycling in the city. Repeated academic studies on LTNs have shown that they get more people cycling and ditching their cars, but that they also boost community connections and cut crime.’

This map really shows how we need not just an LTN, but protected cycle lanes and safer junctions on our main roads. bikedata.cyclestreets.net/collisions/#16…

This street in Copenhagen is a great example of what our streets could prioritise over street parking: Public space, greenery, play space for kids, shared outdoor space for residents to enjoy. Each Street in the area is decorated differently. goo.gl/maps/PaaNCxjRL…

Mildmay Liveable Neighbourhood Stage 2 proposals out today! Good improvement on the initial proposals. Looking forward a more pleasant neighbourhood! letstalk.islington.gov.uk/mildmay-liveab…

A good overview of the proposals in this thread:

Lack of through traffic on Matthias Road bringing peace, quiet and fresh(er) air whilst we wait for safer crossings at Newington Green 🐦‍⬛🌳🙌

Nice to see new pockets of greenery popping up in Mildmay! Spotted here on the Mayville Estate 👀🍃🌳 More of this please Rowena Champion 🙌

FREE PARKING in Mildmay - head to Balls Pond bus lane. Especially during weeknight rush hour when everyone is on the bus or cycling home. Let's be honest...whenever you feel like it as Islington Council haven't enforced for years. No wonder bus speeds are at a ten year low in London.

New kid's playground on St Jude Street coming along nicely and shining in the blue sky. 🙌☀️ Anyone know opening date? 👀

Less grey and more green on the way 🙌🌳🍃

Pretty easy to see where Islington starts and Hackney ends these days! What's the chance of Forest users finally being able to park up in neighbouring Hackney Sarah J Young? This is hugely messy & inconvenient for everyone Hackney Council Rowena Champion Greener Hackney
