Quick Glance: Sadiq Khan Applauds Suspension of LTN, Rejects Precedent
  • Sadiq Khan has applauded Lambeth Council for suspending a controversial low traffic neighbourhood (LTN), while dismissing the idea it could set a precedent for the removal of similar schemes.

  • The decision to temporarily suspend the LTN was welcomed by many local residents but faced criticism from walking and cycling campaigners who feared it would lead to more traffic on residential streets, overall increased traffic, fewer opportunities for walking and cycling, and heightened road danger for everyone.

  • Lambeth Living Streets and Lambeth Cyclists called for immediate confirmation of a timeline for the reintroduction of the LTN and details of promised bus priority measures on Streatham High Road.

  • The LTN, introduced on a trial basis last October on residential streets east of Streatham High Road (A23), was suspended due to traffic issues on the main road.
