London Borough of Camden Low Traffic Neighbourhood
London Borough of Camden Low Traffic Neighbourhood
Why this petition matters
Camden Council have enforced a Low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) throughout Camden without prior consultation nor adequate notice. Many neighbourhood roads have been blocked, trapping residents. Furthermore, this work has been carried out with TFL road closures as well to compound the situation and skew the results of the 12 month trial period!
Camden Council have used underhanded tactics to force their agenda upon residents misusing COVID powers and funds.
This has lead to severe delays in the area, increased pollution, stress, choke points, and is a danger to public safety. Traffic is being pushed onto already busy roads, causing chaos. Arlington Road and Mornington Crescent has a problem with drug addicts, numerous bicycles have been stolen and cars broken into and by making these areas where they congregate even quieter it will become even more appealing to them.

This has been done to enforce the use of cycling and walking, but Camden, this is not a dictatorship. People have the right to choose their mode of transport and not be be vilified or impeded for their choice. Not everyone has a bike, many residents are elderly and struggle to walk. Not all journeys can be done on a bicycle.
Camden, remove the blockade!
