Court of Appeal just ruled Tower Hamlets DECISION to remove the Bethnal Green LTN is UNLAWFUL. Councils can't remove without going through proper process & getting Mayor of London's approval. This is a MASSIVE precedent for London. Years of work vindicated. #SaveOurSaferStreets #LTN

We're at the Court of Appeal today for our hearing! Huge thanks to all our supporters for helping us get this far - we wouldn't have made it here without you.

💚 Inspiring talk at Brick Lane Mosque from Dr. Rachel Bower @livingstreets.bsky.social on the health benefits of walking & cycling - including lowering blood sugar levels. Many said they want to cycle but several feel unsafe. This is why we need to protect our LTNs: they save lives.

🐴 Police horses calmly sharing the road with cars in the Bethnal Green LTN. This is what 'liveable streets' means - calm, safe and shared spaces where everyone can coexist. From children walking to school to mounted police patrols. This is what we're fighting to keep.

"Serious road injuries have been virtually eliminated, more people are walking & cycling and air quality is better. There hasn't been any long-term worsening of congestion on boundary roads or emergency service response times." Read our letter in The Times on why we're appealing:

That number is not in the article but it is quoted in the Officers Report of Tower Hamlets Council from September 2023 when the removal of the Liveable Streets scheme was approved by Lutfur Rahman.

Lutfur Rahman wants to spend £2.5 million removing cycle lanes in Bethnal Green but back in 2013 he was an advocate for cycle safety and called for "the carnage to stop". What changed? 🤔 #Saveoursaferstreets
