Very welcome support (£175m) for walking & cycling which is a) firmly based on community consultation & b) requires ongoing monitoring .... gov.uk/government/new…
“Evaluation of early School Streets projects has shown traffic outside schools has reduced on average by 68%, children cycling to school has increased by 51% and harmful vehicle pollution outside schools is down by almost three quarters”
“The funding comes as a survey undertaken by Kantar Media last month reveals that 65% of people across England support reallocating road space to cycling &walking in their local area. Nearly 8 out of 10 people (78%) support measures to reduce road traffic in their neighbourhood.”
In London, independent polling by Redfield & Wilton shows 19% of people oppose LTNs, 52% support them and 25% are neutral.”
“Surveys are also being conducted of residents in individual LTNs where roads have been closed. The first of these, in south London, found 56% wanted to keep the scheme, against 38% who wanted to remove it.”
