Forum topic: Re-opening the conversation about Southgate town centre

It seems Mr Clarke is suggesting that Londoners should take up cycling in their eighties, in London, in March. It is entirely consistent with the complacency and arrogance of the council's plans. Thank you Mr Clarke for your help in revelaing the "thinking" behind the council's dead-end streets high pollution traffic policy.

Peter Rust and other readers may note London’s latest spatial framework was finally published yesterday (2nd March) after its six year or so journey. Covering all main aspects of our lives there is much transport related, that specific element backed up further by 2018’s linked Transport Strategy.

Fully evidenced and widely consulted upon, including a “road show” visit to Enfield open to anyone albeit poorly attended, it sets out the direction we will be living in for the next two decades or so. The numerous backing reports give evidence to the “why”.
Blaming the council, as in the last post, is a simple unthinking route. There’s an awful lot more to it than that. I would encourage Peter Rust and others to spend the time to do the ground work research before jumping to often unfounded and unsupportable conclusions.

"Complacency and arrogance" may not always be where it is first assumed.
