The new low traffic arrangements in St Peter’s, Canonbury and Highbury are a joy for pedestrians. Not so for motorists if they believe their journey along the road that they’ve always taken is essential, or that other drivers are the problem – rat runners, those using in-car navigation, sellers of over-priced electric vehicles etc.

It should never be a choice between trees or houses. We need both, especially in our borough with so few green spaces. For far too long the so-called choice, trees or houses, has bad-temperedly split communities.
