Some neighbourhoods are better served than others, and there are examples where the walkable routes could be improved... But it's basically already here. how about we all take a breath, and get a grip. How about, we all stop living in fairyland like the council. Our shops are ok in emergency but there are many things you can't buy. We do not have a library except 30 minutes walk away for someone who is reasonably young and fit. We do not have a park and the nearest is too far to walk for most. We do not have a leisure centre of any kind if you get the idea. It's already there for some but it's not there for others and, you can't get a grip on what you don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have never ever said they are implementing 15 min neighbourhoods here. 27 minutes ago, Organgrinder said: It was Bargepole who said that it sounds like a good thing, which it does until you think it through. Yes there are some obvious flaws in the concept that kind of fly in the face of the centralisation of some services ( like hospitals) that’s been going on for some time. It’s a nice sounding concept, but that’s all it is, a concept for urban planning. There have been plenty of others, there will always be more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP hasnt been back for a week, she has probably found something else to spout crap about elsewhere now, maybe something like chemtrails or 5G masts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice sounding concept, but that’s all it is, a concept for urban planning. There have been plenty of others, there will always be more. There are more flaws than positives and, we never know when politicians will suddenly take a concept and spend a lot of OUR MONEY on it before we have time to stop it. I agree it's a nice sounding concept but it would need far better planning and execution than anything they have ever done before. Too many things done and undone again in the past. This could not be done without spending many many millions, so that makes it FAIRYLAND. 26 minutes ago, Funky_Gibbon said: Honestly this whole discussion is like a case study in how some people can be made to believe and repeat any old rubbish no matter how palpably nuts it is. And how many, take at face value, anything our devious politicians tell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
