Like the majority of academic research carried out on this topic this paper was authored by evangelical proponents of LTNs so its accuracy and objectivity are deeply questionable.

I don’t believe LTNs reduce car use, or discourage it.
They just shift traffic from one place to another, dumping it onto larger residential roads, in front of someone else’s house.
The benefits they offer to some are built on the suffering of many others - they exacerbate social inequalities.

I’m not absolutist either and strongly believe the residents of each ward should be able to shape what happens in their own area, which is what has been lacking up until now.

He’s a very effective councillor, works incredibly hard and has earned the respect of Temple Cowley where he has held onto his @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social seat for more than 20 years.
You may well be pleasantly surprised.

Everyone is entitled to their view and I understand why some people like them, but the results demonstrate that most people in Cowley, Rose Hill and Littlemore agree with me.

And just to underline my point, David Henwood of @ind-ox-alliance.bsky.social has just taken Rose Hill & Littlemore for the exact same reason - the residents hate LTNs.

The LTNs are one of the key reasons Saj won in Cowley - they have caused total misery in the local community and a myriad of problems.
We absolutely hate them - they just divert everyone else’s traffic onto our roads.

I think Littlemore residents and @ind-ox-alliance.bsky.social trust Royal Mail employees and ODS staff - it’s @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social that are the problem.
