Sustrans defines a low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) as a scheme where motor vehicle traffic in residential streets is greatly reduced. I recognise that the nomenclature for traffic-reducing schemes varies between different councils, and that 'Active Travel', 'Clean Air' or 'Low Traffic' neighbourhoods are all examples of traffic-reducing schemes, but not an exhaustive list.
With this in mind
1. Please list the name/location of every LTN, traffic-reducing scheme or initiative that is/was primarily or partially intended as such scheme which is in operation or has operated within your council boundary from January 2020 to the present day this request is processed.
2. Please, for each scheme, would you disclose:
a). any report that provides the meeting minutes (including online) where schemes were discussed and agreed.
b). any reports on the efficacy of such schemes.
