Fixing vandalised low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) infrastructure has cost London councils more than £850,000.

Signs have been painted, bollards removed and cameras damaged in protest at measures designed to improve air quality.

The boroughs of Hackney and Lambeth had the biggest bills, according to data obtained by The Guardian.

Hackney spent £399,361 and Lambeth £310,038 over a three-year period.

LTNs try to reduce motor traffic in residential areas by using either cameras, planters or lockable bollards.
