Repeating the often heard criticism that some schemes were introduced without consultation and are not supported by locals, Harper suggested councils"ought to reflect" on their status.
"Ultimately, it's not the government's job to micromanage every single local area — that's for local authorities to decide. For local authorities who have got schemes that weren't popular, were very controversial and aren't very well supported, then it would probably be wise for them to look at them again.
Harper also said he found it"unhelpful" that reaction to LTNs has helped"create people who don't like cycling and walking".
