| The issue that central government and local authorities have is that motorist pay through the nose to upkeep the road infrustructure. Without that revenue paid to central government the roads will just get worse!. I'm a cyclist and a driver, I cycle to work most days and have no issue to cycle on the roads. LTN's have made road worse forcing traffic to sit in traffic jams pumping out more toxic fumes. Journey times are increasing, roads are busy all day Horn Lane and Uxbridge Road are just one example. Now Churchfield Road has more conjestion since the introduction of LTN's. Ealing Council are forcing drivers to find alternative routes to avoid ever increasing traffic jams. No other borough has taken this draconian measure in West London. Ealing Council has caused chaos across large parts of the borough without much thought of the impact on its residents. No one speaks about the economic impact this will have on the local economy as we start to exit lockdown, general public will avoid Ealing to do their shopping or visiting friends. Businesses need swift access to deliver goods to our shops, our shops need customers, our town centres need people to visit without visitors there will be nothing empty shop are not inviting and the more empty shops; the less attractive Ealing and Acton becomes. LTN have not improved the lives of residents or visitors in Ealing. Whether it be Cars, lorries and buses stuck in traffic affect us all kicking the "can" down the street helps no-one.... |
