[Albion] Green Party attempt to ban cars in Central Brighton

[Bold Seagull]

As a starter, i'd go, Brighton Station to the Clock Tower to the bottom of West St. Plus the entirety of the area around the Lanes and North Laine.

Think it would be transformative. The areas that really work in Brighton are already pedestrianised. Clock Tower Piazza would be amazing with a tree lined avenue from the station.

City lacks real progressives though who just cannot see past their car keys.

Can we ban cars and smartphones?

 

[worthingseagull123]

About being creative and progressive and actually caring about the future. Doesn't matter if they are from Brighton or not. Immigrants welcome, whether from Africa or Hassocks

What a load of balls.

This happy clappy drivel is hilarious.

You clearly are not a Brightonian.

We use the bus to get into town because driving in and around Brighton is costly and time consuming. Irony is that the buses spew out more crap than the cars. Ban cars and increase the number of buses and we’ll all choke to death. Bring on the monorail.

 

[RossyG]

Bring back the trams.

Why do people vote for nutters like this?

Hopefully the council will reject it.

Hmmmmm, you might want to look into that.



Oh and #TeamWaterSlide.

I think it would be a much needed shock to some. I know it's not Brighton centre but when I see people sat in their cars in McDonald's car park in Shoreham and have staff bring their "meals" to them I know the car has taken over. cannot even be arsed to walk 10 metres to get food.

Brighton and the surrounding areas are very, very well serviced bu busses. Stagecoach and B&H busses. No excuse to take a car into town these days. Some better disabled facilities on public transport would be required though , for sure.

Same sort of plan announced for Birmingham on the BBC today

Suck it up car owners. You're on the wrong side of history. Your car is not welcome here

We are going nowhere mate.

Sorry but the crusties are going to have to learn to be less triggered and more tolerant.

 

[RossyG]

Make this happen!

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Think is cars are not allowed on main roads through Brighton like north street, western road ...but exemptions are taxis, busses, white vans for contractors and delivery trucks.

Problem is they need to access Brighton to deliver stuff to shops and delivery trucks tend to be diesel chucking out crap!

Agree to banning cars but need to know where from

We'll just keep heaping ever greater congestion charges on you then. Just call it a tax on selfishness

Fantasitic idea. Gets my vote

 

[AlastairWatts]

What complete nonsense. Seems to me that every day someone comes up with an idea for a ban for something. Just where do they suppose the traffic banned from the city centre will go? And given the level of parking charges the only effect will be to drive people away from Brighton. We already experience some of this out at Falmer – try driving up half an hour before kick- off and finding a car parking space.

 

[Bold Seagull]

So far is it about 30 for, and 2 against?

Great thread.

Everyone who would support the OP is unfortunately stuck in traffic.

With a name like worthingseagull123 neither are you
