How can we challenge the routing of 1,000 EMPTY buses down our local roads if the Council does nothing?

Transport For London ( TfL ) sponsored and paid for a major junction change in Waddon, Croydon to facilitate the construction of a 'Tramstop'. Residents and Friends of the Earth objected but Croydon over-ruled the complaints with assurances that traffic wouldn't increase. In fact, traffic has almost doubled, including huge numbers of rat-running HGV's and no less 1000 EMPTY buses a week just taking drivers to-and-from depots on their breaks. Applications under the Frredom of information Act prove that Croydon Council have consistently lied about not having comparative traffic data before the junction change, whilst simultaneously declining to do anything about the breach of Unitary Development Plan which says they will protect Local Distributor Roads from through traffic. The '93 Environmental Protection Acts specifically exclude Traffic from being determined a 'Statutory Nuisance'. What can we do??

Hhhmm? Don't know much about metropolitan issues in the UK. Here in the United States, there exists protocol which is enforced by law. If you could examine the history of the process in which this formed, you may find something which will help you. Many cases here require a comprehensive 'Impact Study.' Sometimes too, you'll find political maneuvering to be the cause. The one thing you'll need to do is document everything. Create a class action interest or suit. Something will almost certainly hit the fan. Good luck.How can we challenge the routing of 1,000 EMPTY buses down our local roads if the Council does nothing?
This is the sort of issues that you should have raised during the recent local elections in Croydon. Having missed that publicity blitz, all I can suggest is that you contact the following departments.



Highways (Croydon)

Transport (Westminster)
