Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure to detail any plans for roll-out trials of low traffic neighbourhoods, as applied in some parts of England.

Answer:

The Low Traffic Neighbourhoods scheme in England is a UK Government scheme and as such it is not being rolled out locally. My Department is currently engaging with local residents on a number of similar schemes to address concerns about the speed and the volume of through traffic in residential areas.

My Department will study the outcome of the trials in England with a view to taking any lessons learned from it which can be applied here.
