Do we want to bet that's a woman in a mask? ... Just had a little look; and that would be an affirmative.
Re: LTNs and 15 minute cities
Some vocabulary for those like me who are unfamiliar with many British acronyms:
-
ULEZ
To help clear up London's air, the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December). The zone currently covers all areas within the North and South Circular Roads.

LTN
Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs) have been in London since the 1970s and more were introduced in spring 2020.

Canterbury’s council bosses have drawn up a radical plan to tackle congestion that will split the city into five zones and ban residents from driving directly between them.

Re: LTNs and 15 minute cities
They turn into checkpoints.
Bath folk gather to fight 'isolating' low-traffic neighbourhoods
https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/loc ... ng-8098431
LTNs use barriers, bollards, road signs, and planters to restrict cars, vans, and other vehicles, whilst allowing pedestrians and cyclists through. Some use automatic number plate recognition cameras while others just use signs showing they are LTNs and/or display warning signs that drivers could be fined for travelling through these roads.
In 2021, Ealing Council scrapped seven LTNs following an outcry from residents and "no material change in air quality". However, it hasn't all been plain sailing for Caroline and the rest of the committee. Their first venue for the meeting - Claverton Down Community Hall - was cancelled with less than a week to go.
Booking secretary Chris Beezley told Bath Live this was because the number of people expected to attend outweighed the hall's 150-person capacity. However, Mrs Horsford claimed the group had been accused of being a "political organisation" when their booking was cancelled on Sunday (January 29).
"We were quite shocked," she said. "However, it's probably done us a favour now because we've secured a bigger venue in the Hilton and many people were outraged to hear we had been cancelled."
Caroline added that the meeting would address several council initiatives with which residents and traders disagreed, such as the residents' parking zones, new 20mph limits and - of course - the low-traffic or "liveable" neighbourhoods scheme.

Re: LTNs and 15 minute cities
Uk Government, UK Crime Commissioners (clearly created expressly to commission crime in the UK), Police Forces, Extinction Rebellion, Insulate Britain, Just Stop Oil and the Fabian Society are just on big corrupt BLOB.
Note, the police are there to protect the people being paid by the government to fuck over and disrupt ordinary UK citizens, and rather than removing the people causing mayhem in the capital, the police remove the people removing the mayhem in the capital. This is all under King Charles III's watch.
And the lying bullshit by the Met Police.

Re: LTNs and 15 minute cities
Well, like I say, when the Fabian Government is funding 'Just Stop Oil', what do you expect.
