Blue Badge traffic filter exemption policy
Islington Council is trialling an expanded Blue Badge exemption policy for Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, allowing residents to apply for access to all LTNs.
Islington Council is trialling an expanded Blue Badge traffic filter exemption policy, allowing residents to apply for access to all Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). The Islington Executive approved this trial in October 2025, following a review of the council’s policy, aiming to improve accessibility for residents with disabilities.
Under the trial, Islington residents who hold a Blue Badge can apply for exemption from traffic filters in all existing LTNs and future Liveable Neighbourhoods. Previously, Blue Badge holders were only exempt from traffic filters within their 'Home LTN'. There are no upcoming meetings currently scheduled to discuss this policy.
