It’s a bit of a postcode lottery - some forces seem to be really supportive, others less so.
No portal in Scotland IIRC?

Re: Dashcams in HGVs will help catch reckless drivers
This is fine, but what they need to do is make it easier to upload video evidence,

Re: LTN politics
This.I don't really see why ATE should drop standards just because a small minority of noisy drivers object to anything (they will and do object to watered down schemes anyway).

Re: LTN politics
@mjr I wouldn’t say the system is broken as such, but it’s important that councillors hear a range of views and that means those in favour of traffic restriction as well as those against.

Re: LTN politics
Which is why it’s important to do so.They listen to those who actively contact them
There’s a theory that states that rural lanes only appear to be quicker to route planners as they’re NSL and if the limits on unclassified roads were set to something more realistic (eg. 30 mph) then they might not.But there's a definite increase in traffic on rural lanes and some of this is driven by route-planners.

Re: LTN politics
Surely given their desperation for votes it should be LTNs for all (also to expand on what I said above I can’t work out why progressive parties oppose this stuff, chasing the votes of people who probably won’t vote for them anyway)?

Re: LTN politics
The issue is whether the progressive parties will pick up on this or whether they’ll continue to embarrass themselves.

Re: LTN politics
Wasn’t there some guidance recently that consultations were not to be treated as referenda?

Living in a safe Lab council which is consistently poor on active travel and the environment, I couldn’t possibly comment.
