Newcastle City Council will conduct an "internal review" into the implementations of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTN) throughout the city.
The review comes after the former external auditing partner for the council raised concerns about the governance and consultation procedures followed by the authority in implementing an LTN in Jesmond. The Jesmond scheme, which stops motorists cutting through Osborne Road and Cradlewell generated fury among some residents when it was enforced earlier this year.
Further traffic restricting measures were also introduced on Jesmond Dene Road and Akenside Terrace. The scheme prompted a petition, amassing over 4,000 signatures, opposing the move.
