• CARS can be wonderful, yet there is an intractable problem with mass motoring: we simply do not have the space to accommodate all of the cars.

For decades we have tried to build for cars, destroying many of our towns and much of our countryside in the process and the result is ugly cities, lost nature and gridlock.

Unrestrained car use is also bad for the planet, and the United Nation’s Intergovern-mental Committee on Climate Change has called for a reduction in car use to fight climate change.

Islington Council’s LN, liveable neighbourhoods are an effective way to reduce car use while ensuring all homes remain accessible by motor vehicle.

Importantly, a body of existing research shows that low traffic neighbourhoods are safer, cleaner and more attractive places to live.

There are so many reasons to welcome Islington’s new LNs, find out more at https://www.barnsburylaycock.uk/
