Groups opposed to LTNs sometimes like to claim they benefit rich people on side streets whilst poor people on main roads suffer.  It’s a snappy soundbite, but is there any truth to it? We run...

Useful debunker of anti-LTN talking points, but I often feel with pieces like this that they’re missing the point: People who repeat myths like the headline don’t actually care about the poor, the disabled etc. They’re not acting in good faith!
