LTN STRIKES AGAIN

Walking my dog Tuesday night 10.45pm when I came across a cyclist collapsed in Enfield Road he was complaining of chest pain, vomiting and difficulty breathing. So straight on the blower 999 for an ambulanceI managed to get (Tony) off the road and sat up on a garden wall while we waited luckily his condition did not worsen and then the blue lights appeared. Unfortunatly on the wrong side of the LTN road block which ledto an extremly sick man in considerable pain having wait while the crew sorted the best way to get him into the ambulance.

Surely if he was a cyclist there would have been thousands of other cyclist around to whisk him off to A&E on a cargo bike? No need for those polluting ambulances then!Unfortunately the committed LCC political mouthpiece on this site doesn’t see how roadblocks can be anything but beneficial. Lucky for this cyclist the extra minutes wasted weren’t fatal.

Exactly the same as happened in Leighton Road Ealing until Ealing Council under pressure from marchers and petitions removed the planters used as barriers. If Hounslow must have these ruddy things don't block the road. Enforce it with ANPR CCTV which would allow unimpeded access to emergency vehicles. If they can enforce Green Dragon Lane and the side roads by West Middlesex Hospital with ANPR then why not 5he Brentford LTNs ?
