Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman faces a High Court challenge from campaign group Save Our Safe Streets over plans to dismantle Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) in the borough.
Despite Rahman's election on a pro-motorist platform, a poll found that 57% of residents support keeping LTNs for safer roads and improved air quality.
The campaign group Save Our Safe Streets, funded by over £78,000 in public donations, argues that Rahman ignored government guidance and conducted a flawed consultation.
The judicial review into the council's decision to dismantle LTNs is being heard in the High Court on November 20-21, focusing on the legality of Rahman's actions.
