History
In February 2022, an article in The Hill mentioned the phrase "climate lockdown", referencing the widespread COVID-19/Lockdown.[2]
Oxford
| Oxford County Council made a "dystopian" video explaining the traffic filters and condemning "conspiracy theorists" |
Oxfordshire County Council voted for climate lockdown trial in Oxford City starting 2024, with movement by car between the zones restricted to 100 trips per yea [3]
The city will be divided into six "15 minute neighbourhoods" via traffic filtering, and a county council travel chief has insisted the controversial plan would go ahead whether people liked it or not.[4]
The Oxford Mail attacked "conspirationists".[5] The AFP called it a "county council approved traffic scheme", not a "climate lockdown trial", as online misinformation has circulated.[6]
The £6.5 million trial will create "climate zones" on six inner-city roads in Oxford - meaning ANPR cameras will fine motorists £70 if they use them without council permission. Cllr Liz Leffman, leader of Oxfordshire County Council and Cllr Duncan Enright, Cabinet Member for Travel and Development Strategy made a video explaining the scheme, which was criticised as 'dystopian' and was likened to a 'hostage video'.[7]
