Benefits of LTNs widely proven and supported
Full name and address provided, Islington, writes:
The short and long-term objectives of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) are well known.
Now, even the most fervent and vociferous opponents of the Highbury LTN scheme must acknowledge the huge reduction in average traffic-flow volumes on the Holloway Road and the other arterial boundary roads.
This change in traffic-flow volumes doesn’t just happen by chance.
The traffic evaporation ‘theory’, widely derided by anti-LTNers but supported by robust real-world evidence elsewhere, suggests an expected decline in traffic volumes of around 15 per cent.

Use lockdown easing to transform communities
K Fallon, Islington, full address supplied, writes:
Islington has seen great change during the current pandemic, with offices, shops, restaurants and other businesses forced to close, and many of us working from home.
With more of us spending time locally, now is a great time to consider how our streets can be a resource for all residents, especially those most in need.
On successful city streets, as author Jane Jacobs argued, “people must appear at different times”. More human interaction helps to reduce crime, while mixed-use neighbourhoods also engender trust, since neighbours get to know each other more easily. We already know this human interaction is promoted by reducing motor traffic, as we have seen here in Islington with the St Peter’s People Friendly Streets scheme.
