Written question asked by Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) on Monday, 20 May 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 22 May 2024. It was answered by Guy Opperman (Conservative) on Thursday, 23 May 2024 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Low Traffic Neighbourhoods

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the proposed statutory guidance on the implementation of low traffic neighbourhoods will apply to existing trial schemes.

Answer

The Department's statutory guidance on implementing Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) will apply to new and existing LTN schemes once it is published in final form this summer. Its purpose is to set out the Department’s expectations for comprehensive local engagement; both before new schemes are implemented, and on an ongoing basis for existing schemes. This is to ensure the needs of communities and road users are properly considered.

The Department will not support LTNs unless they are designed and delivered in line with the eventual, finalised statutory guidance; and reserves the right to take further action if local authorities do not follow it.
