When I told my mum and aunties about what's happening, they said:
"But they won't listen to us."
Thank you for highlighting the disproportionate impact of LTNs on ethnic communities & the lack of consultation w/them.

SEJ fully supports a truly independent review of LTNs. What needs assessing includes: What benefits? Who benefits? What are the “dis-benefits”. Who is most negatively impacted? Impact of⬆️congestion on health & efforts to fight climate change? Need detailed EqIA and much more.

This is Green Lanes on 21st September 2021…. The data cables are on the floor … @EnfieldCouncil stated there was up to a 46% decrease here in congestion. None of these vehicles would of been counted if traveling under 10 kmph …..
That’s how you get evaporation… – at Enfield, London
Don't forget the by-election for De Beauvoir ward today!
Vote for someone who is already making a difference in the community and will actually represent you.
Vote for Kelly.

Hi. Are you willing to join with other clean air activists in the borough who want to protect all children? Or do you just think that certain children need protecting? We would be more powerful together. Do get in touch. Message me. @TogetherHackney

After a hiatus after the birth of my wonderful daughter and other matters, I will be focusing on completing my book on the gentrification of #Hackney in 2022!
I would like to chat to everyone in the area who has encountered and been directly affected by gentrification.
Yesterday I took some pictures in my old area of South Hackney (especially Kingshold Estate) as part of my research into #Hackney post-war estates.
Here's me and my friends on the corner of Well Street back in 2003 and here's me in the same spot in 2020.

Help for struggling parents with the rising cost of living is coming to Hackney.
Hackney Baby Bank will, from the end of May, supply children’s equipment like clothes, shoes, cots, nappies, toiletries, buggies, and toys to families needing extra support. hackneygazette.co.uk/news/ba…

I give permission for my videos to be used as evidence in the prosecution of Cllrs and Enfield Council after my death.I felt unwell yesterday after more pollution pumped onto us.I believe I will have a heart attack soon due to negligence by Cllrs who are pushing more poison here.

Lets be honest about who’s voting in this election. Of course NIMBYS are out voting. Thats why its nicknamed in our community Clean Air for votes. In HG, residents that were severely impacted by LTN refused to take part in consultation as they rightly concluded it was a done deal

They keep telling us major roads are for cars, I reply they shouldn't have built houses on them then. This is the major A road on the way to M1- petrol station demolished so now they're building homes- they can't have it both ways. They are still housing people by these things.

Today we vote for candidates who will try & make things better for local residents.
If you think Hackney’s one party mini state needs independent scrutiny then consider these Independent candidates

It’s #hackney #LocalElections2022 & we continue to be disappointed that @PhilipGlanville @mayorofhackney @carowoodley have refused to guarantee the futures of Fernbank & @SaveHillsideN16 nurseries, if elected. The #childcare crisis & its impact on children & families A THREAD 1/6

Waltham Forest 3 yrs+ on, traffic still higher on boundary roads. 6 months is also the time it takes for genetic change from increased pollutants to develop life changing asthma in children. Labour backed this. @AirCroxted @ChitchClaire @DulwichCleanAir @RoseCllr @kieronjwilliams
Three+ years old at that point. How long do we wait? People were told 3 months, then 6 months, then 18 months. Traffic on boundary roads is still higher. @EllaRobertaFdn told me 6 months of increase exposure could be enough to kill.
