I've read that paper, though it's missing Appendix 2 which has the maps of the affected areas. I also note that the timescale for implementation includes periods of consultation, so it's by no means happening overnight. 'The Clean Air Neighbourhoods will be introduced as a series of experimental projects, implemented by way of Experimental Traffic Orders, so as to ensure public engagement takes place during the experimental phase of the project' ..it says.I note that these are flagged as Clean Air Neighbourhoods and not Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) though it's not clear what the difference is. They do appear similar, with universal access by permit, with some arrangement for visitors and deliveries, but with some routes into the areas remaining open for all. They appear to have all kinds of supporting evidence about air pollution in residential streets, though I'd have thought anything approaching a stiff breeze would spread any pollution fairly equally across the region.
