ULEZ Traffic Light Protest Receives Unexpected Support in Local Resident Survey
An anonymous survey conducted in Chislehurst, Mottingham, and Cold Harbour reveals unexpected support for blade runner vigilantes.
Following the felling of multiple traffic lights in the locality, we decided to conduct an anonymous survey* to gauge public opinion.
*NB. This is an informal survey that is not representative of the whole locality.
Summary:
41 local residents replied.
88% opposed the ULEZ expansion in general, with 10% offering some support.
60% supported blade runners, with 22% opposing.
The main objections to the blade runners antics were that it was 'dangerous' (58%), 'it doesn’t send the right message', it caused 'disruption', and it was criminal.
The main approvals to the blade runners antics were 'ULEZ expansion is the real crime', 'direct action is the only way forward', and 'it communicates a strong message'.
63% thought the flow of traffic actually improved as a result of the felled lights.
We are still awaiting replies to FOI requests sent to investigate the extent and cost of the disruption caused. We will report on them in due course. Subscribe at bottom to keep up to date.
