The resident at the centre of the High Court case that found the West Dulwich Low Traffic Neighbourhood to be unlawful has accused Lambeth’s deputy council leader Rezina Chowdhury of lying on oath during the proceedings.
Jonathan Fowles was a primary witness in the case which successfully challenged the legality of the scheme, and claims her sworn witness statement contradicted what she said in a recorded face-to-face meeting.
He says the council has refused to formally investigate his complaint eight months after he submitted it.
His claims were reported yesterday in The Times, which also established that Lambeth Council has not formally investigated a single complaint against any councillor in over a decade, and that the local government ombudsman last year wrote to the council’s chief executive over its complaints record.
Chowdhury has not responded publicly to the latest allegations but has previously said her witness statement was “as I recall.”
