Reform UK's pledge to dismantle low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) is backed by the assertion from councils that no such schemes exist, despite their popularity.

Rather than simply shuffling traffic between side roads and main roads, as Harker asserts, low-traffic neighbourhoods in Lambeth and elsewhere lead to significant overall drops across the whole area.

Rishi Sunak's own review of LTNs concluded that effects on boundary roads, whether positive or negative, were minimal; the broader evidence favors LTNs for public health.
