• CAMDEN Council has put a lot of time and effort into setting up climate change emergency meetings and the citizens’ assembly. It is therefore difficult to understand the logic of the changes taking place in the borough.

Blocking off roads and making others one-way is already resulting in change which is in the completely opposite direction to what is required to reduce pollution by motor vehicles.

Requiring drivers to take much longer routes to get to their destinations and return home via yet another diversion will massively increase vehicle emissions.

The notion that journeys will not now be made because they suddenly have become longer is a failed and unproven logic.

With the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak resulting in the requirement for social distancing on tube carriages and buses, the last thing we need right now is more people using these forms of transport.

Surely the huge sums of money that have been sunk into these works could have been far better spent in increasing the number of electric car charging points?

This would have provided powerful incentive to persuade car owners to make the transition to a cleaner form of transport.
