Tower Hamlets mayor taken to court over removal of low-traffic neighbourhoods

Save Our Safer Streets crowdfunds to challenge Lutfur Rahman over scrapping three LTNs in London borough

The mayor of Tower Hamlets is facing a judicial review this week over his decision to remove three low-traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) in the east London area of Bethnal Green.

The campaign group Save Our Safer Streets (SOSS) says the LTNs are vital to protect children in deprived areas from pollution and the risks of heavy traffic.
