Meeting tonight re air pollution on Kennington Park Road
I emailed a while ago about the TFL consultation around changes to the Central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ):
The deadline for this is Sunday 25th June.
We're
really concerned that the proposed changes to the ULEZ isn't taking
into consideration the boundaries of the zone - or properly considering
the impact on residents living just outside. We already know that more
than 31,547 vehicles drive along Kennington Park Road each day (almost
10,000 vehicles/day more than Kennington Road and almost twice as many
vehicles as Kennington Lane) (source www.howpollutedismyroa
When
we surveyed local residents last year, 41.67% of you supported
expanding the congestion zone as far as the South Circular, and 25%
supported expanding it to include KPR. We will be advocating that the
ULEZ should be expanded to include areas outside of the CCharge Zone
and, this evening, we will aim to come up with a paragraph that you can
cut and paste into the 'other comments' section of the consultation
response form as there are no specific questions about the boundaries of the zone.
We
will submit a response to the consultation on behalf of KPRRANW, but it
is also really important that as many people as possible submit
individual responses.
We
hope to see lots of you there this evening - please forward this email
to any other local people or groups who you think would be interested.
Many thanks,
Lucy
On behalf of Kennington Park Road Residents Association and Neighbourhood Watch

A Brief History Of London In Riots | Londonist
A Brief History Of London In Riots | Londonist
... By the 19th century, Londoners had clearly had enough of religious rioting, and decided to revolt over the price of theatre tickets instead; which sounds like something that would happen at the Old Vic in 2017. The Old Price Riots of 1809 were a series of disturbances in Covent Garden Theatre, every night for two months, until ticket prices were reduced. The 19th century was, on the whole, much less violent, and most protests in London were peaceful. One of the largest was the Great Chartist Meeting which took place on Kennington Common in 1848. An estimated 150,000 people gathered to demand universal suffrage and fair voting practices. The Reform League Protest, in 1866, was a rowdier gathering with the same motivations. Soldiers were called in to prevent people from breaking into Hyde Park, but the only serious casualty was the park's iron railings. ... One of the last big disturbances in the city before 2011 was the 1990 Poll Tax Riot. Responding to the introduction of a tax which disproportionately affected poorer people, 200,000 people gathered on Kennington Common (again) and marched to Trafalgar Square to protest. The march grew violent as it reached the square, and the crowd was charged on by mounted police. The reaction against the tax helped to oust Margaret Thatcher from power, and it was scrapped in favour of council tax. ...
