Edinburgh residents fighting low traffic neighbourhood consider 'legal route'

Edinburgh residents fighting to get rid of new traffic restrictions say they are looking at the possibility of going down a "legal route" to achieve their aims, as they claimed benefits of the controversial scheme have been "few and far between".

Corstorphine's Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) aims to stop drivers taking short cuts through residential streets and create a "safer and more comfortable environment" for those living in the area.

The key changes have seen motorists banned from turning onto St John's Road - the second most-polluted street in the country, according to research - from Featherhall Avenue; vehicle access blocked both ways at Featherhall Crescent's junction with Meadow Place Road, and access from Manse Road on to the High Street retricted to buses, cycles and taxis only at peak times.
