| I am not sure we are having a debate rooted in reality here. There seems to be a desire for a magic wand to be waved with no acceptance that compromises have to be made with the limited space available. The person responsible at the political level is David Millican, he does transport. Even if we had the compulsory purchasing powers and felt it was appropriate to use them how much do you think it would cost to buy out all of the property rights and to put in a drop off scheme? Is this a priority compared to parks investment or road re-surfacing? We can only spend money once. Maybe our country wouldn't be in such a pickle if our government got that idea. Once the Arcadia project is sorted out this issue will be rolled up. It seems like the wrong priority for public funds in the meantime to me. If Eric Leach doesn't know the Highway Code and can't read signs maybe that is his problem. |
