Overview

• The court found Lambeth Council failed to consult properly, overlooking two‑thirds of locals who objected and a 53‑page dossier warning of displaced traffic and pollution.
• Mr Justice Smith denied the council permission to appeal and mandated payment of £35,000 in legal costs to the West Dulwich Action Group.
• Lambeth Council has committed to remove the LTN as soon as it can be done safely and will cease issuing further fines under the scheme.
• The West Dulwich Action Group is calling on the council to refund the £1.08 million in fines collected during the LTN’s operation.
• Campaigners say the ruling sets a precedent that future low‑traffic zones must be introduced with transparent, accountable public consultation.
