Drivers have been hit with millions of pounds worth of fines by a council strictly enforcing a closed road in a low-traffic neighbourhood (LTN) over just four years.

Haringey Council's own figures show that a staggering 6,800 motorists were caught out in just one month in 2022 by traffic cameras in the St Ann's LTN in north London.

Roads have been shut off to out-of-borough traffic with big planters and signs since August 2022.

A whopping 56,260 drivers were caught entering without permission until October 2026, according to figures released from the council in a freedom of information (FOI) request.

The full fine for the infraction is £160, meaning it could have raised more than £9million in that time. Early payment grants a 50 per cent reduction, meaning the council could have raised at least £4.5million in only four years from the road.

The council disputes these figures, however, saying the real amount is 'about £2million'. They added that the introduction for the LTN was to 'encourage walking, cycling, and wheeling in a safer, cleaner environment'.
