Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 3 November 2023 asking for information about Dulwich Village LTN.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked: (Background to my request: The report I am asking about is the "Impact of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in London, September 2023.

But my understanding is the FOI is asking for clarification on the stat on p2 right hand side 5. They enable young people to be active…20% of people cycling at peak times in parts of the Dulwich Village LTN are children, significantly above the London average.
This statistic you are asking about - ie the statistic on p2 right hand side item 5.: They enable young people to be active…20% of people cycling at peak times in parts of the Dulwich Village LTN are children, significantly above the London average - comes from the following report by Transport for Quality of Life, and can be found here: http://transportforqualityoflife.com/u/files/1_CycleDiversity_June2021.pdf. Table 2, page 9 shows the % children among people on cycles as 23%.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
