Re-allocating road space: view the LTT online discussion

The Local Transport Today online discussion of 22 May focused on a talk by Robert Huxford, director of the Urban Design Group, which explored how highway and traffic authorities that have not taken measures to deliver ‘transformative change’ within the timeframe spelt out by the transport minister could be in breach of new Statutory Guidance. 

In response to this, speakers from two local authorities, a campaign group and a consultancy looked at how cities across the UK and beyond have responded to the Government's calls to action regarding street and space transformations. While some initial responses have been rapid, despite a lack of clarity in the guidance, budget / resource constraints and the complexity of getting these measures in in place, most to date consist of quick and effective measures.
