An article in The Times on 24th October headlined “London LTNs: Councils that closed rat runs now have even more cars on their roads” showed “Councils that implemented low-traffic neighbourhoods during the pandemic have seen bigger increases in car use than boroughs that did not, according to government driving statistics.” Will you accept that, whilst carefully designed LTNs can be beneficial, rushing through LTNs without consultation during the pandemic contributed to the “car-led recovery” you had warned against?
