A mother has slammed a low-traffic neighbourhood scheme (LTN) after an ambulance was blocked from reaching her home. The Mail has the story.
Charli Panter, 34, had called 999 on New Years Eve after her 10-month-old daughter, Nola, began having a seizure.
But the mother watched in horror as the ambulance became stuck on the other side of planters installed to stop traffic.
Video footage shows the moment an ambulance speeding to the house is stopped by a block in its path and is forced to divert round the corner.
Two paramedics can then be seen walking down the road, carrying medical equipment with them before the ambulance eventually arrives after a detour.
Ms. Panter said the ambulance then “needed to be navigated” around the LTN scheme to pull up outside.
She said: “Nola was burning hot and then she started having a seizure in my arms, she was shaking and rigid.
“My partner, Nick, called 999 as her lips turned blue and she was silent – we were terrified.
“I know seizures can be damaging so the longer it was going on the worse effects we feared.
“It never occurred to me we’d need to direct the ambulance on how to navigate around the planters. The paramedics said it was a nightmare getting to the house because of it.
“We have questioned how emergency services would know to travel around the estate (after the filters were installed) but we just never thought it might be to get to us.”
Nola, who was taken to hospital where doctors said she had suffered from a febrile seizure, has since fully recovered.
Worth reading in full.
Research from the TaxPayers’ Alliance last year found that 239 ambulances in London had been delayed by LTNs from reaching call-outs for potentially life-threatening injuries and conditions.

Wake up, my Norwegians. Wake up. For the sake of the bairns. This is not what the Heroes of Telemark fought for. My heart rips apart.
My first thoughts are how cruel. And there is a strong, malicious cruelty element to this blatant attempt at brainwashing. However, the Norwegian government is in grave danger of making itself a laughing stock. Sino Sunak, useless though he is, has scuppered the pro NPI argument good and proper so the Nogs (as they were known in my student days) are out on a limb with this garbage. Will they roll it back? Probably not but they will become and remain silly looking clowns for pursuing this Orwellian type propoganda.
This really is a case of when in a hole….
A bit of humour as the work from home week comes to a close.
Norway’s the sort of country that has a training camp on an island run by a left wing political party. We’d never have heard about it if a psycho hadn’t committed mass murder there one time. It’s another basket case of a country like Canada.
True, but don’t single Norway out for this sort of shyte. It’s everywhere. In this country, for example, it’s called “school” and “uni”, and even “scouts”.
Oh, I’m not. I’ve condemned most countries in the world. I believe we need a modern diaspora: we need new countries. People who want a health security state can move to one continent. People who prize liberty and risk can move to another. Let Joe Biden become President of the US of Europe and the former FBI can restart the Gestapo in Germany. The rest of us can move to the USA and live under the US Constitution, unfettered by Democrats who want to destroy it!
Hear, hear! But I wouldn’t put too much faith in that constitution… remember, we are governed not by laws, nor even by anti-laws (as I see the US Constitution) – but by convention!
No vaccine can ever protect against infection with a pathogen. That’s a ludicrous propositon. For the immune system to act against something, it must be there to begin with, ie, it must have infected the body first.
The education sector is rife with the most rabid collectivists.
It’s a refuge for the mediocre who scrounge for status by lording it over children, who are the least able in society to stand up to them.
That is certainly not an indictment of all or even most people in the industry, but even those who aren’t that way share responsibility for allowing the worst elements to hijack the system and impose their horrid ideas.
Indeed. Hitler cultivated the children, and fostered an image of animal-loving, benevolent Uncle…
Absolutely not. Hitler wanted military discipline for children as early as feasible and regarded himself as the highest authority of command in the hierarchically organized state/ society.
I think the only thing many of those children are going to learn, as did we adults, is that governments and their agencies cannot be trusted. They cannot be trusted to tell the truth or to put the interests of citizens above those of big pharma and other corrupt globalist forces. The tide is slowly but surely turning against those who propagated and maintain the lies around covid. If I were them, I would start worrying about that day of reckoning when they will be held responsible for deceitful and callous behaviour
They could have included a list of modern euphemisms and the equivalent meaning, e.g. “adverse reaction” = “injury”, and so on.
‘The Science’ is not Science.
Of course it’s not so much about whether something is “misinformation” as such, but whether or not it is government approved information. Didn’t they used to do something similar in the Soviet Union? I hear that Chinese dissidents are sending information to the poor oppressed peoples of the Western “democracies” on how to survive the new totalitarianism…
