Residents living near one of London’s historic town centres are campaigning to save their low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) to avoid having their homes deluged by rat-running commuters.
In an unusual twist to often vocal opposition against LTNs, people living in west Greenwich want councillors to keep the scheme in place to avoid a return to the narrow streets being used as “race tracks”.
More than a third of the 163 LTNs across the capital that were funded by Transport for London have been axed after protests from some motorists, leaving 106 in place, though 22 more schemes are in the pipeline.
