| Nice gaslighting attempts again Paul. Shame you can’t block people on here who disagree with you. You do come across as an entirely smug individual. There’s no option for anyone other than to agree with your world view. You just want to alienate people who live in this borough rather than understand why their perceptions might differ from yours. You use tenuous evidence to back up your arguments, cherry picking data that supports you rather than looking at the whole picture. Nice bit of cognitive bias, as usual. Those delivery vans aren’t electric. 99 percent of them are diesel powered. Many are sub contractors using even older vans. They are also on the roads far longer. A better approach from you would be to campaign against too much being ordered online, creating far more ‘unnecessary journeys’. Has it never occurred to you that these vehicles come from depots some distance away and therefore create more pollution? They also do the rounds on Sundays and late evenings, disturbing the peace and quiet of our residential streets. I’d agree that you do seem to view car owners as morally beneath you. It’s the only explanation for why you persist in attacking them and their perfectly legal use of a vehicle taxed and insured and paid for. You presume to know each and every person’s circumstances, yet cannot comprehend why they should not fall into line with your lifestyle. Gunnersbury Park and it’s new £13.8m sports hub needs to attract thousands of paying customers every week to make it viable. It’s naive of you to think the immediate hinterland will provide that customer base. There will be people from all over using it, many driving there for reasons outlined elsewhere. Inadequate parking provision simply pushes the problem into surrounding roads. It’s what happened when they held the music events there in recent years. And it will happen again. |
