Ian Barnes Tweet “huge vote of confidence from the gov in our LTN” - documents shared with Gov & TFL are required

The request was partially successful.

Dear Enfield Council,

On 6th of January Ian Barnes Dept Council Leader of LBE council stated in writing on his Twitter:

“A huge vote of confidence from both the government and TfL in our low traffic neighbourhood”.

Can you therefore please share with the public, very promptly, what exactly was shared by Mr Barnes or Mr Eason to the gov/TfL - as a report must exist from the first phase of LTNs - which has now been confirmed by Mr Barnes to have a “huge vote of confidence” well supported by the government.

As the trial is still underway and ETOs have not been made permanent and a feedback scheme is still underway, what exactly was shared by Barnes/Eason with the conservative government and TFL on the current trialled LTNs. The trial is not yet finite nor has any resident who submitted an objection seen any update, report or heatmap on the let’s talk site (despite this being a clear guide from TfL). The responses have been concealed by LBE to date yet the responses/response to the LTNs are being formally issued to Gov and TFL without any residents knowing what is being shared nor the findings Mr Barnes & Mr Eason have compiled - this is not willingly shared to us, the residents, prior to LBE submissions to the government / public authorities and is unacceptable when they are going out securing more funding without releasing to the public the updates from our input and what full findings that have accumulated and how it singeing presented to the authorities.

Please share the full submissions to both GOV and TFL.

Yours faithfully,
Jonathan Apple
