Road Wars: Neighbourhood Traffic Chaos

Justin Rowlatt reports on plans to reduce traffic through Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, in what has become a battle between those who support the scheme and those who do not.

Reporting for Panorama, Justin Rowlatt finds some drivers pitted against supporters of Low Traffic Networks in what has become a battle between those who believe the schemes will reduce congestion and pollution, and those who want the freedom to drive wherever they want.
