Which ones weren’t you consulted on? If anything it’s been painfully slow process with each LTN taking several years.
Unsurprisingly the PM is very light on detail - seems to want to review them but what does that entail? Can’t see it removing any of the Lambeth ones as there’s been plenty on monitoring.
But hey - they’ve just announced new drilling on the North Sea to own the libs so alls going to be okay.

EVs aren't zero emissions, or the answer. But they could be a stepping stone for weening.
And where does all the particles from the brake and tyre of these 'zero emission vehicles' go? Back to the factories that made them or into the air we breathe and all our water sources? The only benefit EV's bring is the motor manufacture-ring industry's. Don't be fooled that building new vehicles that are resource heavy is the solution.
Most EVs have regenerative braking, so should be much lower brake emissions. Tyre dust is a thing but it's the same with any type of transport unfortunately.

There is an e-scooter one on my road and has helped but still is terrible the amount of discarded bikes and scooters on pavements. Would love Lambeth to go further and stick a bay on every street and then punitively fine or remove bikes that are in breach.
Fixing vandalised LTN infrastructure costs London councils more than £850,000
Bollards and cameras are being deliberately damaged in protest at measures designed to improve air quality and road safetywww.theguardian.com
“Lambeth incurred the second biggest bill, paying out £310,000 to fix vandalised LTN equipment.”

Yep - the investment on stopping the vandalism - replacing signs quickly, cctv cameras on the filters etc has been worth it. Can’t let vandals win!Otoh
£22m council fines an abuse of power - campaigners - BBC News
Lambeth Council made £22m fining drivers for entering controversial low-traffic neighbourhood zones.
“ London council has been accused of an "abuse of power" by campaigners after it issued almost £22m in low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) fines in a year.
OneLambeth criticised Lambeth Council, who issued 183,192 fixed penalty notices in 12 months.”
I have sent a few emails with no genuine answer from Lambeth. 3 different times now. Around Mount Nod Road LTNs plus some others there have been unworkable roadworks diversions forcing people though a LTN whether they like it or not. Lambeth seem to imply they lasted a few hours each time but 2 of these occasions the diversion signs sending people through an LTN lasted over 24 hours and 1 over 12 hours.Councilor Chowdhury has announced Streatham Wells LTN is proceeding.
Love Lambeth
Lambeth Council plans to establish the Streatham Wells Low Traffic Neighbourhood to help reduce motor vehicle traffic and road danger, improve air quality and make it easier to walk and cycle.
Now we await No.10's response
Good luck getting an answer, they won't want to set a written precedent.
These local democracy reporters do tend to be rather crap - the whole point is that people apply for them that WANT to maintain them. It’s a community thing - weirdly some people actual like looking after their neighbourhood rather than just worry about where they’ll park their car!

If people don’t want to do it then they won’t be installed. But plenty of people do want to especially if they don’t have gardens. On our estate we’ve a very active community gardening scheme that’s been great to bring people together.
I'm not questioning whether the initial install is a good thing or not.
Quite. Even municioal show pieces like Windrush Square suffer from lack of cleaning/litter picking etc. Friends of Wiundrush Sq used to organise occasional clean-ups, though this was reactive. Who has voluntary resources to permanently fill in for depleted services?
