ISLINGTON COUNCIL

upset many residents when it introduced a series of low-traffic networks, which shut off residential streets to cars. they will be even more upset to discover the scale of the bounty this new policy has delivered to the labour-run council, whose local MPs are Jeremy Corbyn and labour frontbencher Emily thornberry. In one week alone last summer, it raked in £100,000 in fines from drivers who strayed into just one of the closed off streets. sounds like yet another cashraising enterprise dressed up as a ‘green’ initiative.
