Great for the hipsters,working down the road at their lattechino pop up,and councillors who no doubt never done a days work in their comfortable lives,but what if you live in the area n work away?

I’m assuming there was some kind of consultation?

Where they currently park them?

"LTNs use either physical filters, such as bollards and planters, or traffic cameras to stop vehicles using some smaller residential streets as through-routes, while cyclists and pedestrians are unaffected."

No idea Hackney,but Camden did away with 100 car parking spaces up Haverstock Hill for bike lanes ,where I have my London place,cars just have to park on side streets in designated parking areas,bear in mind during much of the day traffics quite light on the hill,but seems like conservatives are as much out of touch as labour,in a leaflet to try to get people to object,one argument was that H G Wells said Haverstock Hill was unsuitable for cyclists....in war of the world's!
Saw also residents in Barking having trouble getting visitors car park permits,one councillors answer,move out of the area!

Obviously this had no influence on their decision at all, it’s just a coincidence that another borough made £2 million in fines over 4 months.
