Sheffield ISNT putting in 6 new bus filters allowing 100 free goes through them a year.

And that can only be a good thing surely.

i'd argue that Sheffield is already doing it - but without the free passes.

 

We have a ring road, it's *much* easier to use the ring road to get from one side of the city to the other, than trying to drive through the city centre - at least partly because a lot of the through-roads are filtered.

 

 (and, if everyone tried to drive through, it would mean gridlock)

 

Oxford also has a ring road, but it's bigger than Sheffield's (5miles across vs 1). As a result,  people try and drive through the city centre - which hasn't been filtered yet.

 

A lot of people moan about these things, complaining that they're "anti-motorist". As a motorist, the last thing i want to do is drive through the city centre - please! - transport planners! keep my route as far away from the city centre as possible!

Well yes, I was only talking about they arent putting 6 new ones in, in one go.

 

Any mention or reference to 15 minute zones is utterly irrelevent and erronious, no matter what Katie Hopkins spouts.

You appear to think you know more about it than the people implementing it.

In this case I certainly know more than Katie Hopkins.

Doubt it - she manages to succinctly explain the scheme in 90 seconds .. perhaps you prefer to sit through 90 minutes of council waffle about controlling the public to save Pakistan from flooding.

...incorrectly.

There was a far more sensible thread regarding the realities of, and issues arising from, the Sheffield clean air zone here;

Well yes, this thread has started merely due to someone misinterpreting a council meeting, or not understanding what 15 min zones actually are.

Or a bit of both.

Quite a decent explanation of "15 minute neighbourhoods here";

Appears to be linked to the "Build Back Better" strategy that HMG are (or were?) promoting.
