Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN)
Islington Council is trialling an exemption for Blue Badge holders from Low Traffic Neighbourhood restrictions.
Islington Council's Executive approved a trial in October 2025 to exempt Blue Badge holders from Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) restrictions, which are schemes to reduce traffic in residential areas. This trial allows Islington residents with a Blue Badge to apply for exemption from traffic filters in all existing LTNs and future Liveable Neighbourhoods, expanding on the previous policy which only allowed exemptions within their 'Home LTN'.
The trial, approved by the Islington Executive, aims to improve accessibility for residents with disabilities. It followed a review of the council’s Blue Badge traffic filter exemption policy, as detailed in the Blue Badge Traffic Filter Exemption Trial Exec Paper v5. No further discussions or decisions on Low Traffic Neighbourhoods are currently scheduled.
