The local authorities are seeking to initiate a 24-hour bus lane on Romford Road, which risks causing a far-reaching impact on businesses and residents alike. This proposal threatens to disrupt traffic flow of a road which is already extremely busy. Additionally, the 24-hour bus lane would likely increase noise and air pollution in our community, contrary to the council's environmental initiatives. Research shows that bus lanes can exacerbate traffic congestion as they occupy a significant portion of road space hitherto used by other vehicles (Transport for Quality of Life, 2013). We believe that a more balanced approach, focusing on optimizing road usage without compromising accessibility and environmental concerns, would be more appropriate. Let's fight for the right balance between public transportation and private vehicular access. Sign this petition to request the local council reconsider the 24-hour bus lane proposal for Romford Road.
