Episode Details

Kings Heath residents are caught in a heated battle over controversial Low Traffic Neighbourhoods meant to calm road rage—but concrete barriers have backfired, sparking outrage and division. With Labour out of power and the Greens potentially holding the balance of power, the council faces a tough choice: push forward with safety-focused changes or risk losing public trust. Supporters like Katie Day argue it’s time to stop calling it “controversial” and just make streets safer, while opponents like Mike Jerome say they live in fear of speeding cars and chaos. As the city scrambles to fix a plan that’s already been called into question, whoever leads the council next must navigate a minefield of anger, politics, and the urgent need for safer streets.
