The latest LTN crash in London – Watt Watt?

Daily Skeptics

The labor-operated Borough of London in Camden was forced to abolish a highly controversial Low Transport Community (LTN) program focused on the Dartmouth Park in Hampstead Heath – home of Ed Miliband, Benedict Cumberbatch and many other workforces. The program is to impose an 18-month “probation period” and possibly conduct minimal public consultation.

LBC is trying to call the best spin “pause,” but the program – Cycle-Fanatic Cllr Adam Harrison's pet project, “Planning and Sustainable Camden's Cabinet Member” and CBC's deputy leader – always fails to work properly. The uproar among locals will be discovered among locals during the holiday last summer, a brief “non-cultivation” of Camden, led by the Higgate Society, which commissioned LBC's cunning indicator experts to analyze.

Locals were crowded with protest meetings and defending the council, especially the plan’s clear potential to raise funds through fines. With vehicle access to thousands of homes in LTN from the north, east and south, voters demand to know how ambulances, delivery and tourists get to them, or how anyone no less than 100% of people can get shopping homes?

Many of the issues they highlighted include the inevitable impasse on Highgate Road, Highgate West Hill and other bus routes on the proposed LTN border and increased air pollution on children’s walking routes to schools in the area – ironically, the same good school attracted many upward moving workforce proponents, attracting expensive homes in Dartmouth Park.

Camden's labor system wasted a lot of TFL money while secretly orchestrating the LTN LTN at Dartmouth Park, so it has already paid expensive lessons to unannoying hardcore voters. Its problems include a private company called the Ordinary People, and an abnormally expressed local residents.

Commanplace Digital Ltd is a private “citizen engagement platform” that claims to “inspire a thriving place powered by data and collaboration.” On its sensitive website, smiling faces, young and casually dressed “account success managers” and “business development managers” promote the platform.

The practical role of commonplace is to sell machine-readable online surveys to councils and developers – lifting them off the hardship of asking locals about their ideas and reading responses correctly while still getting the results they want first through the ostensible democratic process.

As we know in Bedfordshire, the obstacles are in the question asked and the box you allow to tick. Our Council’s judicial investigation on local cycling and walking issues yielded 826 responses, with more than 100 attempts to explain – only possible in the “Other Comments” box – by far our worst question is how to safely cross the A1 into Biggleswade without using a car: it is obviously a walk/loop underground passage.

However, in its published LCWIP program, based on this “engagement”, the Central Bed Council felt able to ignore the fatal risk of locals running or placing children on the A1 lane, as the online general survey did not raise any questions that were readable and readable by machine. The indicators did not prove the need, which was delighted to make the CBC and national highways ignore the danger.

There is growing suspicion of the questions raised in common investigations, and in the case of Camden’s proposed Dartmouth Parks Ltd., many people refused to participate. Instead, 773 locals emailed their council directly and sent individual council members via email. In bed, our ward councillors just provided over 800 locals for our Biggleswade question asking them that they need to safely enter the town, and many of the replies were a revelation.

Ask people what they really think without leading questions or tick boxes and all you get is “quote gold”. Many people, in unique words, have roughly said what they expected. Others have made important points, not even thought of the campaigners. Analyzing such a true reply – contrary to a machine-readable investigation – takes time and thought, while Camden now has to return to the drawing board and read hundreds of non-common reactions, acutely realizing that he has encountered the alert locals of the Highgate society and Dartmouth Park, its cautious online “Consultation Online” and it cannot conceive an inappropriate effect alone.
