| I agree. The imminant LTN at Acton Central will affect all traffic to and through Poets Corner and the results are not likely to be less pollution. Some people have thought about the consequences of an unresearched LTN in Poets Corner and have signed the petition. http://chng.it/DH77JktC6P because this needs to be properly researched. Like others who have objected to similar schemes in other parts of Ealing, I agree that it would be lovely to have more pedestrians and cyclists and less traffic and less pollution, but that is far from certain. Yet without analysis of the use of these roads, and without engaging with residents for changes and amendments that might improve the schemes. the council are forging ahead. The danger is that traffic being forced up Horn Lane and Churchfield Road will make even more polluting queues than there are at present. The tables in front of the cafes on Churchfield Road, the pedestrians and cyclists on the main roads will be plagued with more fumes AND when we need plumbers, deliveries, nurses, Ubers, refuse collections etc they will need to travel further in more traffic to reach us. All to stop a few people who cut through the area! As the move is meant to be all about pollution, and there has been no open consultation so far, it would be comforting to know that they are monitoring the pollution count now, so that they have a base line to measure against. But that is not happening. Please sign the petition if you would like further analysis and consultation AND write to the council officers responsible COVIDtransport@ealing.gov.uk and the senior councillor responsible, Cllr Mik Sabiers NB CORRECT EMAIL ADDRESS SabiersM@ealing.gov.uk Let's at least show them that we would like proper research and consultation! |
