carry out a comprehensive review of the LTN scheme and scrap this. I firmly believe that the current LTN scheme is causing more harm than good.
More details
will result in widespread issues and discontentment among residents.
The main concern I have, and one shared by many in our community, is that the LTN scheme will lead to significant disruptions and inconveniences for local businesses, residents, and commuters alike. The traffic congestion on alternative routes will increase exponentially, creating undue burdens on already strained transportation networks. This will have a detrimental impact on the lives of individuals and families in the area.
