1/4.🧵ON THE #ECtHR.
Thanks to the European Court of Human Rights, the first flight will no longer take off for #Rwanda tonight carrying people seeking refuge in the #UK. Ahead of any government backlash, here’s some explanation of what the ECtHR is and does, c/o @EachOtherUK…
People Friendly Streets are coming to Highbury West. The yellow line below is part of the reason. Plans, timelines & info now published here: bit.ly/3kGGVQM. Just had a discussion with 65 local people about it on Zoom. Feedback welcome here: survs.com/survey/458fgrs…#LTNs
Lots of related info in this recent thread and replies:
THREAD: Can’t wait for @IslingtonBC's People Friendly Streets programme to come to our ward this autumn. Highbury West will become a Low Traffic Neighbourhood. By preventing through-traffic cutting across the area, it'll make our streets cleaner, healthier and safer for everyone.
Our winning @IslingtonLabour 2018 manifesto said: ‘We see the need to close certain roads to through-traffic to prevent rat-running, make neighbourhoods more liveable and improve cycling routes. We will investigate doing this in consultation with local residents and businesses.’
Our online consultation on People Friendly Streets, which began in May 2020, drew 24,610 unique visitors, making 5,693 comments, with 39,000 agreements to those comments. 12 months after the #LTN goes in under an Experimental Traffic Order, we'll ask residents for feedback on it.
