Overview

• The University of Westminster’s Travel and Places study, funded by TfL, reported increased cycling in areas with more Low Traffic Neighbourhood roads but no significant reduction in past‑week car use or walking.
• TfL confirmed it halted the three‑year project after year two, saying the additional data offered insufficient new insights to justify continued funding or publication.
• The research surveyed more than 4,500 London residents and was initially agreed at £82,095, with responses matched to the share of local roads within LTNs.
• Emails reported by The Times show officials discussed how to present the results and noted the material was subject to Freedom of Information requests.
• City Hall Conservatives and campaigners accuse TfL of a cover‑up and urge Sadiq Khan to explain the decision, while TfL maintains confidence that LTNs can reduce local traffic and improve safety.
