While this is mostly about parking issues, the part that stood out most to me in this is:
A study published in the Journal of Safety Research last year found that children were eight times more likely to die when struck by an SUV than those struck by a passenger car.
Eight times! To me, that’s insane. Even if it were 50% that would be very bad, but this is 700% more!
And we can’t put bike parking in front of stores because they take up too much space? 😒
If your car is too large to fit in a regular parking space, it shouldn’t be allowed there.
Put big vehicle parking way at the back of the parking lot and prioritize small vehicles, bikes, micromobility, handicap parking, and public transportation services closer to stores and buildings.
Then vote for it. I haven’t met somebody who isn’t a tory infatuated. Every person just bloody loved Boris soooooo much “but he’s so x and y!”
Start voting for a change
Boris is actually a bit of a weird outlier in the Tories. I don’t like him for lots of other reasons, but he did seem to genuinely believe that climate change was an issue and used to ride a bike about London all the time when he was mayor. Shouldn’t have got anywhere near the PMs seat though.
