Sadly the #Heavitree and #Whipton #LTN trial has been cancelled - although there was a small increase in traffic on boundary roads, it achieved its aim of reducing overall traffic volume, improving air quality, increasing the number of walking and cycling journeys and had no negative impact on emergency service response times. But because 80% or the consultation responses were negative they cancelled it.
