Do fill this in ppl of the forest who are outrageously neglected by otherwise broadly welcome plans. Paint/signs have almost no impact tho of course. Deliberate exclusions of say New Kent Road which connects w Grt Dover St/others covered is typical: unconnected/contemptuous @TfL
Just look at this map of exclusion/contempt for the E&C OA communities; abused and abandoned to complete neglect and the targeted contempt here for the most polluted/lethal roads in TfL’s control, lining #ElephantPark and the OA directly! NKR should be 20mph as a minimal example. 
If @Tfl can’t kill you w the volume of vehicles or w the air pollution they so carelessly encourage they’ll make sure to get you w speeding vehicles. Meanwhile the GLA/LA have demolished yr homes & densified yr neighbourhood. Yr LA & Councillors only job is to rep yr interests!!!
Following @SadiqKhan decision to approve Delancey's & Southwark's plans to demolish the #ElephantandCastle Shopping Centre, we remain adamant that this scheme has a long way to go to protect BAME communities and small traders in Elephant and Castle (follows👇🏾)
We are deeply saddened to witness the consequences of such decision, justified by @MayorofLondon and @LDN_gov officers in the Stage 2 report, which highlights several negative implications for the communities at #ElephantandCastle
.@SadiqKhan acknowledges there were 1,000 formal objections; opposition from 8 Labour Cllrs; two London AM; and over 20 key stakeholders including Imperial War Museum, UAL and Latin Elephant; an online petition with 2,500 signatories; plus an open letter from 21 local bodies.
