@GlynnAlison I’ll have a look. It has been rented out in recent years and there were photos online a while ago. Both houses (no. 171 and 173) were built in 1712 (only Queen Ann buildings in Stoke Newington). When they were restored by the dentist next door, they still had original features.

@DavrossBeber @ClissoldLabour Some people drive over the speed limit despite road signs indicting the speed limit or drive into a road despite a no entry sign and many more examples. Some are unaware and others are very aware. Either will be fined once caught and that’s pretty much all there’s to it.

@DavrossBeber @ClissoldLabour We have to consider that some drivers unfortunately either don’t look around as they should when they drive or look and don’t know what certain road signs mean. Scary.

@DavrossBeber @ClissoldLabour My view is that despite the many yellow warning signs all along Church St some drivers still end up at the Bus Gate and likely don’t expect to see a “no motor vehicle” sign in the middle of a main road. I think it’s unusual to encounter it in that context but we’ll get used to it

I was told monitoring data for Stoke Newington’s Bus Gate and 5 new LTNs will be published every 6 months during the 18-month trial period so expect it around: - March 2022
- September 2022
- March 2023 I was hoping for more frequent updates. x.com/hackneycouncil…

@gall_jp @StokeyLTN @metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour People get fined every day for committing many different driving offences and failing to obey all sorts of road signs, some more obscure than others. Why are you picking on this particular one?

@gall_jp @StokeyLTN @metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour Appeal the fine if you think it shouldn’t have been issued in that instance. Maybe it happened before the extended exemption was introduced in early October news.hackney.gov.uk/stoke-newingto…

@gall_jp @StokeyLTN @metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour Making driving inconvenient even at the cost of short-mid term congestions, is intended to get people in the longer term to think twice before making short journeys by car and that’s how we get less cars on the roads. That’s at least the intention and rationale behind LTNs.

@gall_jp @StokeyLTN @metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour And therein lies the problem: scheme like this are designed to tackle BIG issues such as pollution and road safety that go way beyond one person’s personal preferences. Whether you believe there’s a problem to be solved and that this is the right solution is a different matter.

@gall_jp @StokeyLTN £2m? That’s 15,384 vehicles in 3 months being fined £130. Did you count them all? :) otherwise, where’s that figure from please? Thanks.

@FurtiveSalmon Thanks!

@FurtiveSalmon I agree. 280,000 people live in Hackney and a little Twitter poll with 250+ votes is in no way a fair reflection of all those people’s views as it’s only Twitter, not an academic study, and even then, posted only to people that follow my account :) that’s all I can do here.

@FurtiveSalmon “Twitter normally skews on various issues” what does this mean and what is this statement based on please? I suspect people that respond to consultations are more likely to oppose whatever is being proposed. Just my hypothesis. People who are happy/Don’t mind don’t bother.

Interesting to observe since yesterday how the outcome of a poll stabilises after the first 30 votes and remain fairly consistent afterwards (nearing 200 at the moment). This has been the case with past polls as well. x.com/StokeyUpdates/…

@metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour Thank you. Following an exchange we had here before the scheme went live I was under the impression monitoring data will be shared more frequently than 6 months. Seems quite a long interval given the trial period is only 18 months in total.

@ClissoldLabour @metecoban92 Thanks. Any idea if some of the road signs that state incorrectly that Church Str is closed will be removed now once things have settled? I thought that was the plan. Not all the yellow signs state that the closure is at Lordship Rd and only between 7am-7pm. Thanks.

RT @ClissoldLabour: @StokeyUpdates @metecoban92 I asked officers about data last week and I’m waiting for a response

Is Stoke Newington LTN traffic and air quality monitoring data due to be published soon @metecoban92 @ClissoldLabour? As far as I’m aware, the only time some monitoring data was published was 2 months ago on Oct 11th, three weeks after the scheme was introduced. Thank you.
