The new Streatham Wells low traffic neighbourhood has widespread support among the public, according to a group of local residents who say their lives are being transformed by a huge reduction in road traffic.

The group of supportive locals claim they are “the silent majority” in support of the low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) and say they boycotted a recent residents meeting because it was biased against the LTN.

LTNs: “Publish the evidence and listen to residents”, say Lambeth Lib Dems - BrixtonBuzz

Lambeth Liberal Democrats are calling on the Council to publish data every two weeks on air quality, bus journey times, and school lateness, during the Streatham Wells Low-Traffic Neighbourhood trial.

Lib Dems warned Lambeth Council twelve months ago – in their response to the authority’s Air Quality Action Plan – about the way LTNs are being introduced.

They say Lambeth does not gather sufficient independent data on their efficacy and ignores residents within and around the affected zones.

The Liberal Democrats have asked Lambeth Council to waive any fines from the first two days of Streatham’s new Low Traffic Neighbourhood after emergency Thames Water works closed down Leigham Road.

The new Streatham Wells Low-Traffic Neighbourhood became operational on Monday 23 October, which collided with unplanned Thames Water works that caused carnage on Leigham Court Road and Streatham High Road.
