One of the issues is to do with when there's a matchday, (which is still sometimes a Saturday) who gets to use it the club or the shoppers? On the whole though, I agree, that's the best location in my opinion. Not perfect, but nowhere is. If there were no private cars at the lower end of...

Both would be great, but primarily cut traffic. Explain how it wouldn't achieve either. It has in London Like I say, not my first choice, but if congestion charging or nothing are the only possibilities on the table I'd go for that. I'd love to see cars outright banned from the city centre...

Something which hasn't been mentioned which could be done relatively quickly and cheaply is congestion charging. Say a tenner to get closer than Palmiera Sq, Seven Dials, or Upper Bedford Street That way, the council get a much needed boost to the coffers, if you really need to drive to town...

The disability issue does have to be thought about, but I just keep coming back to (and thankfully I'm not an expert) surely it's easier for people with mobility issues to get on and off a bus than it is for them to get in and out of a car. That said there will always have to be provision for...

Buses could be routed from Churchill Square up Dyke Road then across to the station, either via 7 dials, or quicker down Buckingham Road, Upper Gloucester Rd, Surrey St

I feel limited by only being able to give one thumbs up.

Well yes. The point of encouraging bus use is because buses encourage multiple people to travel at the same time. A taxi is just a car, which you pay someone else to drive. No reason at all they should be allowed into bus lanes. There is some arguments for (and some against) allowing purely...

I have to admit I don't know. I generally believe in progressive ideas and vote for people or ideas who can demonstrate progressive values. Frustratingly I'm in a minority at a national level, and a only in a reasonable (and not overwhelming) majority at local level. Something like this...

As posted by myself on 1st May 2019 ...... I completely agree with your point about the initial Brighton experience. I don’t think the whole town centre should be pedestrianised, but key routes should be. The most important of these should be Queens Road down to the Clock Tower and then...

The other form of transport which doesn't get talked about, but it should because they are taking off in other cities around the world is electric scooters. Every time I see one I get the most overwhelming sense of envy. A few legal issues at the moment. Hard to imagine there will be in 5 to...

Think again? We can probably anticipate a fairly large implementation cost. We have to go balls deep, or not at all

You banning everything with wheels? Even 2 wheels? You can probably expect a response

Well yes but I think we can look at recent history and conclude that what is sensible and has widespread agreement on a chat site won't always play well at a ballot box. Us saying it makes sense is one thing, finding the politicians willing to stake their careers and campaign on the detail of...

Excellent point. This isn't primarily a question of air quality, the environment or transport. It's a question of how can we insulate our city from losing the shops, pubs and restaurants in our town centre which in the days of deliveroo, amazon and stay at home and watch TV culture. Every bit...

Whenever you get these arguments you do encounter who can't supply any logical arguments which stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny, but they will default to an attitude of I won't lift a finger to change my lifestyle until the people who are more passionate about it achieve perfection in...

We haven't seen any detail yet, but my guess is you wouldn't Car ownership would be designed out of the city centre, in the same way as it has been in the other cities which have taken this step. You can sleep soundly though in the knowledge that your interests have been sacrificed for the...

The Green Councillor who put this forward has deliberately left this light on detail if you ask me. She knows full well that there is a public consultation on transport strategy coming up and her job is to stir debate .... which she has clearly done. If she had gone in with detail of the roads...

Is the city made a better place by having double parked delivery drivers picking up somebodies dinner from the town centre to a suburb? Is that really a good use of the limited space in the City? Are the best arguments that the car lobby can come up with is that it will be a bit harder to...

And how many 52 inch tvs are curry's in town going to sell? Doubt they even have any in stock. That type of sale will be online or out of town now. Even if they do sell them, getting it back to your car probably won't be any easier than getting it on a bus. Even if this type of sale did have...

You can get something pretty big on a bus, probably bigger than you can in most cars. They all have good sized luggage areas Another bollocks argument
