In Dulwich, a proposed low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) faces backlash from locals, prompting the West Dulwich Action Group (WDAG) to take the issue to the High Court. Residents claim Lambeth Council failed to properly consult them about the LTN, despite the council asserting that it conducted comprehensive community engagement. Critics argue that the LTN, aimed at reducing traffic, actually risks worsening air quality and redirecting congestion. The intense debate culminated in hostile confrontations during public meetings, leading to emotional responses from councillors. Alongside the LTN, new parking regulations and a cycle lane have also sparked controversy.
