| Simon, I take it you don't understand basic statistics otherwise you wouldn't have posted a link to the Single File article. That truly was nonsense, even if you do not have the competence to recognise it. However, it I find it difficult to believe you can't understand that statistics released in September 2020 cannot influence a decision made two months earlier. So in repeating your claim that DfT minor road counts were used to justify the introduction of LTNs in Ealing you are only further demonstrating your bad faith in addition to your limited competence. You claim "TfL’s accident data shows a drop across London. Nothing to do with LTNs but probably more to do with traffic being slowed to almost walking pace in many areas. And the majority of accidents involved buses, lorries and vans, which indicates that that larger vehicles rather than cars are the issue." You're simply making this up. If you look at last year's injury report, https://content.tfl.gov.uk/casualties-in-greater-london-2021.pdf , you will see that total casualties on London's roads are up in 2021 compared to 2020, and cars continued to be involved in the majority of these collisions, in 57% of fatalities on London's roads, 68% of serious injuries and 64% of minor injuries. "Your supposed stats about South Parade have already been proven to be based on false data." What are you referring to? Did you make that up as well? There is indeed a "campaign of misinformation, manipulated data and outright lies", but it's coming from you. |
