EALING Council has announced a 'final' consultation on the nine Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) left in the borough.

The Council will be running a 'CPZ-style' consultation giving local residents the 'final' say on whether they are made permanent or not.

The consultation will run between July 1 and July 23, with residents in and on the borders of LTN affected roads receiving leaflets on the details of the consultation next week.

In addition, residents on Deans Road and Montague Road will be asked if they want to reinstate the measures previously in place in the area, prior to the removal of LTN21.

Although the LTN21 trial was ended early due to the closure of Swyncombe Avenue by Hounslow Council, there seems to be strong support for LTN measures on those two roads.

The Council urges residents to provide their feedback, even if they have done so via the Commonplace platform or via email.

According to the Council, that feedback has already resulted in changes to the schemes, such as introducing ANPR cameras to allow blue badge holders access.

Cllr Deirdre Costigan, deputy leader of the council and cabinet member for climate action said: "We know that people in Ealing want a cleaner, greener borough with less traffic congestion.

"We also know that our streets are simply not designed to cope with the high levels of traffic we see on local streets.

"This is why we are supporting our residents to choose active travel options, like walking or cycling, instead of making those short car journeys that account for almost a third of journeys by car in the borough.

"Small changes by lots of us, like walking children to school or cycling to local shops, can make a huge difference.

"LTNs help to make that easier to do on safer and more pleasant streets.

"They can also improve air quality and cut down on harmful pollution that affects all our health, our environment and climate.

"We recognise that change can be difficult, and that these trial schemes have aroused strong feelings locally.

"For these schemes to be successful, it is vital that they have the support of local people.

"So, whether you have strong views, have changed your opinion over time, or are finding out about LTNs for the first time – we want to give you control over changes in your neighbourhood.

"Have your say when the consultation goes live."
