Overview

• Lambeth Council’s West Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) was ruled unlawful by the High Court for ignoring key consultation feedback and misrepresenting public input.
• The scheme generated £1,080,580 in fines over six months, prompting demands from the West Dulwich Action Group for full refunds to affected motorists.
• Deputy Judge Tim Smith condemned the council for a 'serious failing' and accused it of providing a 'masterclass in selective partial reporting.'
• The West Dulwich Action Group became the first residents’ organization to successfully challenge an LTN in court, setting a legal precedent for future cases.
• Lambeth Council has acknowledged the ruling and is reviewing its implications, while the future of the controversial traffic scheme remains undecided.
