I don’t think removing existing one-way streets is something any council will do
As it happens, I've been involved in returning plenty to two-way. It does get done, yes.
if you add extra changes in a scheme you’re just volunteering for more grief and more battles to fight.
It really depends on how you approach it. If you just impose it top-down, perhaps. If you have a proper engagement process (which is possible), you can have a proper integrated scheme.
tbh Given a couple of years ago Haringey did a big exercise on possible LTNs and came to the conclusion that filtering traffic inconvenienced motorists so shrug let’s do nothing, I’m really glad they’re pushing ahead, whatever the details.
I remain convinced that these changes shouldn't just be pushed down like they are at the moment. The vast majority of filtering schemes currently being done are simply terrible, quite a few have been removed again or weren't implemented in the first place, and there are numerous other problems. Trust me, it's really not as easy as saying 'something must be done, whatever the details'.
