OXFORD'S controversial Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are set to get foldable bollards to allow access to emergency services.
It comes after an ambulance had problems getting to a patient because of the fixed barriers which were put in place at the beginning of March.
South Central Ambulance Service said although the man died, the delay caused by the bollards 'played no part' in the man's death.
But now emergency services will be able to cross the barriers with a key as the fire service has asked Oxfordshire County Council to change all bollards to lockable ones.
The council is trialling LTNs for six months across Church Cowley, Temple Cowley and Florence Park.
