A High Court judge concluded that Lambeth was guilty of a 'serious failing' and acted 'unlawfully' in dismissing local objections to the West Dulwich LTN in south London. It could force other local authorities to show that they have taken the views of critics seriously, or risk having their LTNs torn down. The West Dulwich scheme was implemented in September last year despite overwhelming local opposition. A residents' campaign group raised close to £50,000 to help pay for a detailed analysis of the intended LTN. • Labour council acted unlawfully over low traffic neighbourhood
