It’s worth challenging Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) if you object to them. They generally cause more traffic congestion and enormous inconvenience to residents. Lambeth Council recently lost a legal challenge to an LTN in West Dulwich, primarily because the council ignored well argued responses to a public consultation.

There are rules about public consultations but some councils think they can ignore them and push through their desired changes regardless of public opinion or the likely impact. Lambeth is one of the worst councils for ignoring the residents because they think they know best. But they will now have to reconsider their proposals.

There is also a Facebook group called the West Dulwich Action Group (WDAG) if you wish to support them.
