I see Edinburgh Council has added some of these daft metal bollards in Corstorphine. An elderly man almost tripped over one, he didn't see it until the last minute.

The City of Edinburgh Council squandered almost £40,000 of taxpayers’ money on the now-removed Manse Road bus gate - an ill-conceived part of the £800k Corstorphine Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) that residents repeatedly said they did not want. 1/6

A polling expert rubbished the market research, confirming that it had failed to accurately reflect local opinion, gave a one-sided presentation of arguments, and its claims could not stand up to analysis. 5/6

The Corstorphine LTN = an expensive failure that’s caused safety hazards, increased traffic and didn’t achieve its active travel objectives. 6/6

Extensive coverage in the rest of the media of the Times exclusive about Transport for London and Rachel Aldred's attempts to bury her study that found LTNs do not cut car use. Nothing, of course, from the Guardian's Peter Walker, the great cheerleader for LTNs.

It appears that the LTN in West Dulwich was quashed for the same reason as the Manse Road Bus Gate in Edinburgh - it relocated traffic rather than reduce it.
Who woulda thunk it.

Humiliation for Lambeth Council today as judge rules it must:
– Tear down the West Dulwich LTN which it implemented unlawfully by ignoring residents’ legitimate concerns
– Pay campaigners' court costs (£35k)
The judge also blocked Lambeth from appealing

Despite Council officials urging committee members to disregard 600 objections and make the entire LTN permanent, members pushed back against the recommendation and unraveled the Council’s false claims:
24 Oct 2024
My committees TRO sub-committee has just voted to approve the Corstorphine Connections LTN project with the exception of the controversial Manse Road Bus Gate. I’m satisfied that the right decision was reached today based on evidence, data and listening to local residents.

Members of the TRO Sub-Committee recognised what we have long known: the Council's handling of the trial LTN has been woefully inept, using misleading data to falsely portray support and justify an unwanted scheme.

Today, they voted to scrap the Manse Road bus gate and heed the voices of the Corstorphine community, who have consistently and clearly opposed this deeply flawed scheme.
