Cyclists accuse council of ignoring report after LTN removal
“What are they going to do to keep my children safe?”: Cyclists accuse council of ignoring report and listening to “bullies” after removal of Low Traffic Neighbourhood trial
George Banfill from WalkRide Withington & Didsbury tells road.cc: “We are incredibly disappointed with this decision. It feels like the voice of the supportive majority has been ignored and the anti LTN group have bullied and harassed the councillors and council into removing the trial. Meanwhile, 64 per cent of the participants said the scheme would make them more inclined to travel by active modes, as opposed to 27 per cent who said the scheme would initiate a behavioural change in them.
“The council had said, ‘The success of the project will be measured through monitoring the changes in levels of motor traffic and numbers of people travelling actively as well as, perceptions and feedback from people who live, work and socialise in the area’. However the data appears to have largely disregarded.”Siobhán O’Leary Donkin is a mother of two who lives on Alan Road in Withington, one of the roads which had a modal filter installed as part of the Parsonage Road scheme.
It’s not just the Manchester City Council which has ignored a report presenting the benefits of LTN. Last month, the government sources claimed that Rishi Sunak’s “pro-motorist” government was responsible forthroughout England, which concluded that they are effective in reducing traffic and generally popular among residents was buried by Downing Street.
