Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

The decision comes after London mayor Sadiq Khan admitted that the Low Traffic Neighbourhood scheme in Streatham Wells was ‘causing huge problems.’

Three LTNs will be retained with cameras replacing road-blocking bollards. Some residents criticised councillors for ploughing ahead despite lacking consent.

Local authorities that pursue such schemes may lose access to traffic camera data so they can’t use it to enforce restrictions, the government said.

The prime minister said he’s ’slamming the brakes on the war on motorists’ and criticised politicians for making ’short-term decisions.’
