Reform pledges to scrap LTNs in its council areas - but there aren't any
The Guardian
|May 22, 2025
Reform UK's pledge to remove all low-traffic neighbourhoods from the council areas it controls looks to be achieved - after the authorities said they did not have any in place.
Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's chair, said last week there would be a "large-scale reversal" of existing LTNs in the 10 areas across England where the party won control of the councils in local elections on 1 May.
"We view these schemes with the same suspicion as mass immigration and net zero," Yusuf told the Telegraph, adding: "You can expect, if you live in a Reform council, for there to be a much higher bar for any proposals for LTNs and for the large-scale reversal of these existing LTNs."
