LTN has given a lot of trouble to residents for not having urgent access and emergency services can't reach on time to safe lifes. Longer journeys for health workers and Medical help.

People need access from and to their residence. And barriers are the problem not the solution. It might look ok on paper, but I am afraid, it is not practical.

I think they should be removed as it prevents emergency services from doing there job as all the roads are blocked and the only way to get to some places is by going all the way round and it can cause people to lose there life or be in danger and all the main roads are full of traffic which makes it harder for emergency services to get through all the traffic. It gains nothing but making everything more difficult.

We have been based on Kelburne Road for over 15 years and have NOT noticed the road being use excessively as a cut through or speeding vehicles. However since the LTN Road closures have been carried out on Mayfair and Church Hill Road. I have noticed a massive increase in traffic and speeding vehicles around Westbury Crescent and Kelburne Road. The traffic is also very congested on Westbury crescent leading to Rose Hill (also the surrounding main roads) and only a mater of time before accidents will happen. The LTN Road Closers have just made traffic chaos & gridlock, when there was not a problem in the first place. Did anyone actually carry out a traffic survey before these restriction were put in place?. Asking residents if the want road closers with out explaining the repercussions is not the answer. All businesses are being effected, whether it's customer coming into shop or staff trying to get to there jobs. In the current climate / restrictions this is not helpful.

I was initially in support of experimenting with LTNs. Having seen how they've been implemented I'm now strongly against them. They clearly don't work in a small city like Oxford which doesn't offer multiple alternative route options. They've hugely increased congestion and pollution.

The system may be a good idea in theory but in practice it has increased pollution and as a resident has made my lung condition worse.

Longer journeys due the the LTN diversions which happen to coincide with roadworks on Iffley Road and Cowley Road has meant a 10min journey has been up to an hour. Well done Oxford for adding to the pollution rather than going greener. Some journeys have to be done by car.

As a family have live in Littlemore for nearly 40 years we are completly astounded at the introduction of the LTN measures forced upon us. We strongly request that they are completly removed and never reintroduced in coming years as they are totally against free movement, are causing more environmental issues and traffic congestion. Remove imedeatly!

Dumb, stupid unsafe idea created. Causing more traffic congestion and life threatening for people who need to emergency services. It is not creating “Low Traffic” it’s making it so difficult to track around as people are needing to do three point turns etc to find alternative routes.

Is just ridiculous, it pushes traffic elsewhere for longer so doesn't cut any emissions only creates more.

This is an absolutely ridiculous idea whoever thought of this. It’s causing problems not solving. What a waste of money. I’ve see ambulances have to turn round and find alternative route several times putting peoples lives at risk. Please get rid of this system and let us get back to normal.
