If you do nothing else, then the most important thing is to put your objections in writing, otherwise, this scheme could be made permanent.
There are many and varied grounds for objecting and why the LTN is failing including:
- Increased traffic congestion on surrounding roads
- Increased pollution due to idling traffic
- Negative effect on businesses and livelihoods
- Carers unable to reach their patient/relative
- Increase in mental health issues
- Emergency services unable to get through in a timely way
- No red route allowing public transport to run freely and more frequently
- Over 75% of the local residents voted against the scheme
- No consistent ongoing monitoring of traffic is being carried out during the trial
- The effect on businesses and livelihoods
- Negative impact on persons with protected characteristics. If you have a disability or impairment, has the LTN made it difficult for you to travel or for people to visit/care for you
- Unsafe movement of vehicles – have you witnessed any unsafe movement of vehicles in your street e.g. large trucks reversing elngthy routes
- Impeded access to residential properties
