| Guy, please give sources for the "extensive polling" showing LTNs are popular and the "reduces traffic" claim. My experience (Whitestile Road) is the LTN here is not popular (the last consultation run by the council showed 70% against, https://www.hounslow.gov.uk/info/20053/transport/2171/hounslows_streetspace/8). Comparing with the adjacent Darwin Road (Ealing) where the LTN road blocks were removed I see little difference in traffic flow. The installation of these road blocks has led to regular costs (I assume borne by the council) to clear fly tipping and repair damage to the structures. I am regularly reporting incidents via FixMyStreet, the latest being damage to one of the flimsy bollards at the location. You might like to review the number of incidents and report back to this forum with the total cost incurred since installation. While Hounslow Council continues to waste money on painting rainbows on pedestrian crossings (contrary to national guidelines on road signage) and sending managers on "subconscious bias" training I don't want to hear any more blaming the Tories for our local problems. |
