So for all the āwho are you to judge which journeys are essentialā commentators, perhaps this is a case study as to what is possible if non essential journeys are eliminated?
In which case youāre talking about a very small subset of people. Or alternatively youāve fallen into the trap of equating a decision to choose private schooling with having no choice but to drive! Both are nonsensical as there are choices in either scenario

The planters on Melbourne Grove South are keeping *thousands* of people walking & cycling safe each day.
Over 2,400 people have been recorded in a recent #ActiveTravel count (7am-7pm).
#KeepThePlanters to lock-in the safety & active travel benefits @RoseCllr @kieronjwilliams
Oh look Blue Feather, Grove Reopen have just pre- announced your closure. Nothing like thinking a shop might have closed to make people not head there. Almost like when they suggested Callows locksmith was closing (it moved over the road!)

More analysis showing how there are so many more journeys that could change - we need to ensure that as a society we expect this

How much more will it take before people realise we need to make significant changes as a society. The question as to whether people ālead busy lives so need to drive their children aroundā, looks fairly ridiculous in the face of the ongoing impacts of climate change!

Interesting stance- itās not ok to post a non identifying picture of a car and a window (no ref/ door no/ major identifiers) but it is fine to post peopleās houses / whole street if you support the messaging?

Hugely significant: courts have vindicated our approach to our emergency transport programme. @Lambeth_council is determined about eliminating inequalities in our communities & I am glad to see the judgement is clear they have been central since the start

In all seriousness, could we be reaching a ātipping pointā where people are more aware of air pollution than they ever were and so should we be pushing for much more āextremeā measures. Peak hour exclusion zones around schools/ ban on heavy freight / vans in daytimes etc?

Watch this all the way to the end.

Recent weeks have seen targeted harassment of women at their home address, criminal trespass, illegal flyposting and now yet more vandalism of the planters and plants.
Nobody in our community should be targeted in this way for supporting changes to local streets. 1/2
This film is excellent. Cars are useful for some situations but have become the default for many. We as a society have forgotten how to travel without relying on the car - comments like āonly the super fit can cycle 5 milesā couldnāt be further from the truth!
Such a shame that local groups protesting against road filters are also willing to flypost horribly difficult to remove stickers all over the village- including on the iconic finger post signs! š©

Joining up the existing #SafeRoutes into a wider network is key to getting more people to choose healthy and sustainable ways to travel š¶š“š³š²š.
Delighted to see these two projects have been selected for #GooseGreen from neighbourhood CIL funds! Main road cycle infrastructure is essential to join up the LTNs and build a network of #SafeRoutes. @mcash @vicky_olisa @SuecharlieSmith @RoseCllr @Radha_Burgess

We're committed to rigorous monitoring of Lambeth's emergency LTNs
Independent traffic monitoring of Railton shows a 27% ā¬ļøreduction in traffic and a 35% ā¬ļø increase in cycling
We've also found room for improvement, so we're making changes. Take a look šš½love.lambeth.gov.uk/new-indeā¦
The amazing pedelemywheels providing a genuine way of spreading the cost of a cargo bike making car free journeys a real possibility for more people
10 more cargo bikes ready to be delivered, 10 less cars. #trybeforeyoubike reducing traffic one bike at a time.
