Planner1 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 6 minutes ago, Anna B said: I think one of the problems is the Council (and anyone else in charge) is no longer trusted. So what alternative are you suggesting? Lib Dems, Labour and Green parties have all been in power here in recent years. Have you noticed any major difference under any of these administrations? The nature of decisions that politicians have to make means that there is usually an element of their constituents who won’t be happy. I don’t think they could possibly please everyone all the time.

Not exactly proof of a major a conspiracy, is it. The ones in Sheffield are small areas of redevelopment in or close to the city centre, so naturally many amenities will be within an easy walk for most folk. This is just normal urban planning. Same as has been happening for decades here and elsewhere. You really do need to have a look at yourself if you see conspiracies in this stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads36 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 No, in the name of freedom, these new housing schemes need to include walls and fencing, to stop people walking to the shops. anything less is eco-fascism, and a very dangerous slippery slope.

It's not though, it's window dressing, they haven't used the words 15 min cities due to the bad press that that phrase is garnering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been protests in Oxford where it's being trialled and people destroying traffic bollards and cameras, now they're using other words to describe it.

That's different, that's not the "15 min city" thing, that's similar to the pollution reduction they are doing with all the road blocking and such around Crookes, and bottom of C-field Road etc, which are separate schemes from the 15 min city proposals...
