Despite the majority being in favour. It seems the council has its own agenda.

Since when has that had any influence on a power mad Mayor?

Mr Rahman seems to driving the removal of LTN. I’m surprised as they seem to be a good thing. After my initial criticism of them.

Pursuing his own agenda against the wishes of the populace. Hmm, seen that before somewhere.
Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad depending on your own opinions.

Mr Rahman was re-elected as mayor of Tower Hamlets on a pro-motorist platform last year after being barred from office for breaches of election law in 2015.

Rahman was kicked out of office in 2015 after a specialist court concluded that he was guilty of vote-rigging, buying votes and religious intimidation.
At the time, the election commissioner, Richard Mawrey, said Rahman had “driven a coach and horses through election law and didn’t care”.

But, it's always profitable. The council taxes collected can be used for funding the sign replacements by companies giving kickbacks. The next f*er will be no better to reduce the speed again.

The residents who live in the isolated streets may like them, but residents in neighbouring streets may hate them. If you have a thousand cars a day going down 5 streets, and then you block off 3, you will have 1000 cars going down 2 streets.

What does "rip out" mean?

I haven't looked at the details, perhaps you have.
But we don't know if ID cards would have prevented that miscarriage.

So those issues may be unrelated.

It’s example, no one said it’s part of Tower Hamlets.

Please don’t have another thread locked Roy. This is a decent topic to discuss.

It's the Borough boundary, Arnold Circus is between the A10 and Bethnal Green road (A1209)
