Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has publicly acknowledged the failures of a new low traffic neighbourhood (LTN) initiative in Streatham, run by Lambeth council, admitting it has significantly disrupted traffic flow and public transportation in the city. Describing the scheme as 'not working' and 'causing huge problems', Khan conceded, 'It's not been great' for Londoners. He has promised changes to the LTN 'ASAP', following reports of a bus taking two hours to cover three miles. Amidst this controversy, discussions about the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expansion have also intensified, with Khan criticized for ignoring public concerns. In response, a political figure has pledged to scrap the ULEZ expansion on the first day of their mayoralty.
