LIBERAL Democrats and Conservatives from Ealing Council have summoned a call-in, relating to the recent decision by the Council to introduce more Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs), so the topic can be questioned and probed in more detail.

Leader of Ealing's Liberal Democrats, Councillor Gary Malcolm believes despite its best intentions, he has very serious reservations about LTNs' likelihood of reducing pollution, their terrible implementation due to no consultation, and the blatant neglect of the needs of all disabled people, carers, and ambulance services.

He said: "The lack of consultation between Ealing Labour and its residents of the borough has resulted in an appalling neglect of the needs of carers and the disabled people.

"Recently the Council gave way to give some blue badge holders an exemption so they can travel in cars in the LTNs however many carers will have to spend much, much longer visiting their vulnerable family members or people they care for.

"We have no choice but to use the call-in procedures to question Labour and persuade them to either cancel the LTNs or give more exemptions to other key workers."

The call-in is likely to take place in January.
