Are you aware that Wandsworth Bridge Road's “Clean Air Neighbourhood” has directly led to: a café that survived Covid currently now losing £36,000 per month, as a direct consequence of the traffic chaos, a kitchen specialist which has seen turnover drop £600,000 in the period Oct 22 – May 23 compared to the same period last year, a well-established soft furnishings store suffering a 70% drop in footfall, a restaurant on New Kings Road seeing vital weekend turnover collapse by 38%, a high-end dress agency suffering a 25% drop in revenue since the CAN scheme started, a womenswear shop seeing...

If not, why not?
