Dulwich LTNs: the winners and losers

Two years ago, few of us had heard of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). Now we have roads closed by planters, roads closed by cameras, and a sharply divided community.

We thought it was time to sum up who wins and who loses from the Dulwich LTNs. In preparing this summary, it became apparent that all the lobby groups and lobbyists who passionately defend the LTNs have a direct line to the Council, which might explain why opposing views are never taken into account.
