The Royal Borough of Greenwich have now made the East and West Greenwich LTN permanent, according to a report by the Westcombe Society. The LTNs were introduced on a trial basis in November 2024.
They affect many roads and operate during rush hour periods of 0700 to 1000 and 1500 to 1900 on weekdays,.
The Westcombe Society says this has been done without any further consultation. It says Greenwich Council claims that ‘after extensive trial and consultations’ the scheme has contributed to making the area ‘safer, cleaner and greener’ and that more people have been encouraged to walk or cycle thus improving air quality. However the Society takes issue with some of the data which the Council has used to justify the LTNs.
It goes on: “The reality is that, although many of us living in the LTN now enjoy even quieter streets than previously, this is at the expense of those living on the boundary roads and in Charlton.”
Residents of Lee who want to drive through Greenwich may be affected by the LTNs. If you have been please leave a comment on this story.
