What ideology? Seeing that this was a plan originally proposed by Labour, passed through the council (with organised funding) by the Tories and implemented by the Greens; how it could have been implemented for ideological reasons? There may be a lot of political differences between all three...

I was cycling behind a woman last night who had cycle lights on: when she stopped at the lights, she leaned over to switch them off. Why would someone do that? If my light is broken, I won't cycle. Full stop. It's not worth the risk

Why is that? A multimillionaire who doesn't drive will contribute far more to the upkeep of roads than a motorist paying basic-rate tax. So, what BoF said was patently correct - don't see how that's clutching at straws

Sorry Ed. I just remember that when the scheme was scrapped there was some claim that only about three people had used it the last weekend (or something like that). I wasn't aware of the previous success. Now that a certain football club has moved out, why can't the original scheme be resurrected?
