answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2024 answer text <p>Any cost benefit analysis of individual Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) would be a matter for individual local authorities.

As a result, we have strengthened statutory guidance which will set expectations for comprehensive and in-depth local engagement, and full consideration of the needs of all road users in LTN schemes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 17/05/2024 11:01:34 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
