Reform councils pledge to scrap LTNs – despite there being none in their areas

All 10 council areas controlled by rightwing party tell the Guardian they have no low-traffic neighbourhoods

Reform UK's pledge to remove all low-traffic neighbourhoods from the council areas it controls looks to be achieved in record time after the 10 local authorities said they do not actually have any in place.

Zia Yusuf, Reform UK's chair, said last week there would be a large-scale reversal" of existing LTNs in the 10 areas across England where the party won control of the councils in local elections on 1 May.
