| Why just cars? The biggest increase in road traffic in London has been vans and taxis, the former being particularly polluting. And of course you aren’t averse to using cars and vans yourself when it suits. Most people I know use their vehicles because they have to, not because they go for a pleasant spin. Saying you dislike pollution and noise and danger but choosing to live in one of the biggest cities in the world is a bit silly. If it doesn’t suit you then perhaps you are living in the wrong place. As it is nobody is breaking any laws by driving anywhere. They just offend your sensibilities. And some of the council policies counteract the very ‘values’ it tries to promote. Close Acton tip but tell people to drive to ones further away. ‘Only a minute longer to get to Park Royal than to Acton from Ealing Town Hall’, says Bell. What that fool utterly fails to recognise is that most people using Acton tip don’t live in the Town Hall, so any alternative is much further away. The same principle applies to other facilities and amenities. Not everything is convenient for everyone, including sports facilities like Gunnersbury. |
