Low Traffic Neighbourhoods have been a divisive local issue in east Oxford since they were first introduced in 2021. But with election day just around the corner, how much of a vote decider will they be?The aim is to create quieter and safer streets for residents to cycle or walk.
The recent local elections saw the newly formed Independent Oxford Alliance gain four seats in East Oxford at Oxford City Council, even taking away some from Labour. One of their main policies was to remove LTNs."They create longer car journeys, more pollution and more congestion," he says. Louise Brown is the Conservative party candidate. She says that East Oxford does not have enough cycle lanes or regular buses, making LTNs "unworkable".
