Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are a key part of delivering safer, better, healthier streets in London by removing through (or “ratrun”) motor traffic from an entire residential area. They cut overall motor traffic and create large neighbourhoods where air pollution, carbon emissions, noise and congestion are dramatically lowered. These are great for walking and cycling, but also community cohesion – streets become inviting spaces where neighbours can chat to each other and kids play out again.
In their own way, however, these schemes can be as controversial as main road cycle tracks. Right now, the Walford Road area scheme in Hackney and Bethnal Green scheme in Tower Hamlets both need your support.
