GB News: Motorists to receive compensation following collapse of Labour-run Low Traffic Neighbourhood
Drivers in West Dulwich, London, will receive compensation for penalties issued under the now-removed West Dulwich Street Improvements scheme, following a High Court ruling that deemed the council's consultation process unfair. Motorists can apply for refunds for paid penalties related to traffic filters at five locations.
The court found significant flaws in Lambeth Council's consultation, noting that 67.5% of residents opposed the scheme. The council's enforcement measures have been dismantled, and those with unpaid penalties will see them canceled. The council plans to continue its broader transport strategy despite the ruling.
