Residents fed up with low traffic neighbourhoods (LTN) have launched an extraordinary rebellion against the controversial schemes – by setting them alight and taking on the green zealots who police them. The Mail has more.

Vigilantes in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, torched a number of planters which were used to close roads just hours after they were installed last week. Footage shows the boxes completely destroyed, with locals online praising the “freedom fighters” for acting against the low-traffic measures.
