Clive, I am disappointed you linked the anti-LTN group in Haringey with an incident that has nothing to do with them

Two questions for you: does former Haringey LibDem Councillor Clive Carter link Haringey's anti-LTN group with death threats? Is this a wholly unsubstantiated smear?
Reacted letter from 12th September 2020 sent to an person in Hackney that doesn't mention LTNs - nothing whatsoever to do with the Haringey Anti-LTN protest
Low traffic neighbourhoods were introduced into Haringey in August 2022, 2 whole years after the letter sent to some who at the time was still a Councillor in Hackney but is no longer an elected official, like Clive Carter who is also no longer an elected official.
We know nothing whatsoever about the letter, who sent the letter, if the letter was reported to the Police, the outcome of any investigations nor prosecutions. The reason being, it completely nothing to do with us and the march on Monday 21st November, which Clive for whatever reason has linked it to and attempted to link it to us.

And Clive, I am disappointed you linked the anti-LTN group in Haringey with behaviour that has nothing whatsoever to do with them
I am disappointed at this new low in political discourse in Haringey.
As quickly as was humanly possible we uploaded a statement to the website, but this was not enough for Clive, who continued with his personal and pointed smear campaign against us, ignoring the protests about his views from other people who were on the march. He appeared hyper focused and fixated with us.
Wow, Clive's really starting to hound me now... its quite personal. within the space between these 2 tweets (25 minutes) there are more tweets, hearsay and unsubstantiated strongly disputed allegations.
What came next was more and more allegations not linked to the march that night. It was about other boroughs or was hearsay and Clive produced zero evidence that the people on the march were involved. Bearing in mind he was clear that he was there and witnessed 'conduct' - but there was clearly a great big difference to what he had witnessed and claims he was making, there was an assumed involvement or fraternity that simply does not exist.
What started with claims about the group who protested tonight has turned into a whole load of accusations, smears and allegations which did not involve the group who marched!
Now it goes without saying that no one in the Haringey anti-LTN group we know would issue death threats and it goes without saying that everyone would feel sympathy to anyone who got one, but I wholly disagree with the way Clive Carter has linked the Haringey protest on the evening of Monday 22nd November, with what he claims he 'witnessed' and with incidents from 2020 in another borough
Scenes from outside the Decorium, Wood Green, on Monday 22nd November, described by Clive Carter as a mob instigating 'mob rule' and a group he then tried to link with threats of and actual violence and vandalism.
If you thought SEND was bad - the NHS is seemingly prepared to throw away money to private companies
About 3 or 4 times a year we get the euphemistic message 'Parents please note we have put a letter in your child's bag' - its a world away from how a child's death was handled in my child's first school
More of a trial by ordeal than a well organised clearly set out administrative process for moving the care of vulnerable young adults from Haringey's Children's Services to Adult Services. We have been failed at every stage of the process.
Never EVER get on the bus without a camera running if you need the priority wheelchair space
The reality of using a London Bus in the teeming rain on a Sunday afternoon is no joke when the parents of a paraplegic person in a wheelchair clash with the self-entitled buggy-pushing parents of toddlers.
At 3pm today I received some barefaced lies from Haringey Council Adult Social Care in response to a photograph I published online yesterday and the media interest it generated
Haringey SEND Transport are insisting that a 17 year old minibus with no air conditioning is a suitable vehicle to transport my paraplegic son in this heatwave. The appalling conditions inside the minibus inside the bus is something they knew about last summer, yet they have to date done nothing whatsoever provide a suitable minibus this year nor appropriately mitigate the temperatures inside the minibus.The conditions inside the minibus are so bad that they triggered multiple seizures during the heatwave as my son has epilepsy, which they SEND transport department know about and they also know that they are triggered by heat.It is not just son who is impacted: last year we know of one child who died on Haringey SEND Transport in the summer heatwave and another who had seizures.
I am simply asking a question - are we all absolutely certain that the road closure / travel restrictions (commonly know as LTNs) placed on some of the most severely disabled people who are wholly reliant on cars are absolutely necessary
Haringey's road closures exemptions policy for disabled people is not fit for purpose, unduly burdensome and intrusive - it's time to stand up against the pro-LTN lycra-clad cycling bullies
Is the argument for and against exemptions for disabled people in Low Traffic Neighbourhoods really a case of GOOD versus EVIL?
