Another liveable neighbourhood is proving a success with the residents, while upsetting those from afar who used the roads as a rat run.

In this case, Sydney Road in #Bath was blocked to through traffic near its junction with Sydney Mews, meaning vehicles now have to go the other way around Sydney Gardens and through a light-controlled traffic junction. That adds 1-2minutes to journeys... but for some, that's just all too much! 😁

I suspect part of the reason #15MinuteCities took off in Paris but have spawned conspiracy theories in the UK is that #AnneHidalgo invested in the benefits alongside the traffic calming measures, whereas UK councils had no budget to invest in the positives and also no budget for proper public consolations explaining what was going to happen so people felt it had just been dropped on them without warning.

Brave residents from #Heavitree are becoming 'human bollards' right now and all this week to try and enforce the bus gates in the #ActiveStreets Trial, and shame the council & police into enforcing these parts of the trial.
Please give them all the support you can: in person and on line.
