My local councillors dug a hole for themselves by announcing right at the start: “We will not be giving up car parking spaces.”! Utter foolishness.

That’s in contrast to what we all know to be ‘impractical, unaffordable…cause death and chronic disease’. Are we discussing banning motor vehicles now?

Turns out the point on the high street furthest from the most remote car park is considerably less than the distance from one end of our main shopping centre to the other. And still they fight to park outside the shops.

Having spent my entire teens in Stevenage, cycling everywhere, having my first (three) near-death experiences with motor vehicles, graduating to on-road cycling when the cycle paths were no longer adequate, and now living in Milton Keynes, I can really see how it all went wrong.
