Council drives forward planned LTN changes

VANDALISED BOLLARDS WILL BE DEALT WITH IN SECOND WORKS PHASE
VANDALISED bollards will be dealt with during a second phase of a divisive Kings Heath traffic scheme, as new 20mph speed limits, one-ways streets and blockades to stop cars are planned.
The Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) scheme in the suburb has been controversial in the past, with the use of modal filters, which keep through traffic from certain streets, fiercely splitting opinion.
Birmingham City Council wanted to reduce traffic in residential neighbourhoods through the project and make it safer for people to walk and cycle in the area.
But the authority admitted the scheme had been “controversial” and acknowledged there were “strong feelings both in favour and against”.
