Bar the existence of the zone, which people on here can debate the need for until the cows come home, whats wrong with that sign? 

Clear which ways would charge and which wouldnt, which is all you can ask for from a sign surely.

The zone is the issue.

This council have never expressed any intention to implement 15 min cities as such.

 

Can you name any place in the world where restrictions on leaving your neighbourhood have been proposed as part of a 15 min city initiative or anything similar?

Remember this comment from February, if you happen to be on Barkers Pool have at the sign in a window that's headed "A High St For The Future" has a sub heading "Creating a 15min City" and the following "Over the next three years Fargate & High St will be transformed. Using Future High Street Funding we will green the streets, repurpose obsolete buildings and create spaces for play and culture" 

 

Looks like another "conspiracy theory" is about to come true and proves that Planner1 talks absolute nonsense (as most of us already knew).

I forsee an egg shortage in the next few years as there will be a lot of people with it all over their faces.

I know things have changed with the availability of information and car owning but 2 of the early innovations of the Labour Party were public libraries and public transport so that people could widen their horizons instead of just seeing what was happening in their own small communities.

 

Encouraging people to 'keep to their own area' is wrong on so many levels.

 

If communities become isolated  they can become tribal and suspicious of people they don't know. That's hardly conducive to good relationships between different areas. You already see it happening with rival 'gangs' setting themselves up to fight each other for no good reason other than an affiliation to a particular group of people and imagined slights and grudges held. 

 

 Believe me, it will not end well.
