Lutfar Rahman, the directly elected mayor of Tower Hamlets, criticized low traffic neighbourhoods, saying they push traffic onto arterial roads primarily used by less affluent residents.
Lawyers representing Save Our Safer Streets claim the mayor's decision ignored government guidance and the consultation process was flawed, risking the £2.5 million investment.
Jane Harris of Save Our Safer Streets emphasizes that TfL's involvement indicates the issue transcends Tower Hamlets, reflecting broader implications for city-wide transport policy.
The council plans to invest £6 million in "active travel" schemes as they scrap the Liveable Streets program, which aimed to enhance public spaces and transport accessibility.
