A Labour run-council has been ordered by the High Court to scrap a hated LTN which earned £1million in fines.
An 'unlawful' low-traffic neighbourhood in West Dulwich, south London will become the first in the UK to be axed after a judge rejected an appeal from Lambeth council.
The council will now have to pay out £35,000 in legal fees to the West Dulwich Action Group (WDAG), which brought the case, but campaigners are calling for this to be increased to include the £1,080,580 taken in penalties.
Nonetheless, the body celebrated the victory in their bitter fightback against the LTN which they argued had increased pollution and traffic on bordering roads.
A spokesman for WDAG said: 'This ruling is definitive – the LTN was unlawful. The council has lost, has been denied permission to appeal, and must now face the consequences of what that means.
