UK Department for Transport publishes draft guidance for councils on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, requiring local support before implementation.
The UK Department for Transport has published draft statutory guidance for councils on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), stating that they must gain support from local residents, businesses, and emergency services before introducing new schemes. The new guidance is set to come into force this summer and follows concerns about the implementation of LTNs, including potential risks to life from emergency services delays and impact on disabled residents. Failure to deliver road schemes that work for local people could result in funding withdrawal and government control over authorities' roads.
