Centre of town is one square mile, if that. At no point are you further than a few hundred metres from the edge. Easy enough to arrange all the transport facilities around that edge. Any unresolved questions? Just do some basic homework on how other car-free spaces manage it, then apply best...
Would be easy enough to test just by making the centre of town car-free on, say, the first Saturday of every month for a trial period. Then ask businesses the effect on their footfall. Could measure the difference in air quality while they're at it.
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. People DO love Brighton, a lot, for all sorts of reasons. Depriving them of the right to swan around the town in their two-ton personal lump of metal wouldn't change that very much, I'd suggest. Especially as it would make the town WAY more agreeable...
The Albion happily operates three P&R sites on a matchday (notwithstanding building work closures). The council could doubtless arrange more. Even the shitty rail network tends to hold fire on their dreaded Bus Replacement services over the Summer months. It could all be managed if the political...

There was a lovely quote somewhere on the BBC website in the week that said something along the lines of the days when you can jump in your personal two ton lump of metal to go and buy a pint of milk are numbered. And rightly so. Tho probably take the introduction of a hefty congestion charge to...
Felt weird for sure not to have the constant background threshold of traffic noise. You only really notice it when it's not there anymore. The town felt curiously BECALMED.
Was smashing walking through a car-free Brighton town this sunny Sunday due to the Brighton Half Marathon. OK there were a few negatives, like public transport was a pig to use due to detours, and it was stupidly difficult for someone on foot to get from beach side of Kings Road to town side, or...
