With over 4,000 signatures on the online petition to stop the introduction of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) in the borough, this is a controversial issue.
The arguments against the LTNs are laid out alongside the online petition and on the Exposure Box video.
On the Council’s side an update has been issued on the Live West Ealing website which gives more detail on the thinking behind the LTNs south and north of The Broadway. The update gives some information about how to comment on the schemes once introduced.
I am in support of the LTN. Living on Leighton rd, I think any reduction in traffic will be welcome.
I’m not, I live on Seaford Road, and I couldn’t get access home yesterday. I was either detoured towards Hanwell or forced to sit in traffic down Northfields avenue and then Uxbridge road. I’m sorry but they haven’t thought thus through properly for us on Seaford Road, ie those who do deliveries or who see people for health care reasons. Nobody wants to spend time in traffic on the main roads just to get home to or from work. Believe me on Seaford Road we don’t want a lot of traffic going down this way and that’s the reason why both ends were blocked many many years ago and it was filtered on to Westfields and Leyton and Sidney however I don’t want to be spending my nights it’s on Northfields Avenue trying to get home will be detoured off Leighton Road down Hanwell just to get home.
