I'm sure many have been following the Tower Hamlets stuff. This again demonstrates some campaigners' touching faith in judicial review. Even had their case been successful, the filtering could still have been removed by following whatever process was required again, and correctly this time.

As before, filtering is worth supporting, but the way it was implemented, often during the pandemic, the general lack of sound filtering methodology, and the bad design of almost all filtered cells require a rethink. The term 'LTN' also continues to be extremely stupid. Broken record time, but you don't want 'low-traffic' neighbourhoods, you want them to be high-traffic, just not traffic that is mostly people in cars.
I don't know Mayor Rahman's views in any detail, but he could mean any or all of the above, or he might simply not understand this and only see it as the political football all of the above turned it into.
