You claim they need to spend billions but then say it's nonsense when someone else says they wont? So are you saying all these things will be built?

Does anyone know whether the temporary pedestrian crossing lights in Crookes have any sort of counter attached to them so that they can tell how many times the button has been pressed? I saw somebody cross at the ones by the bus terminus yesterday for the first time since they've been put in. You would think there might be a way of telling how many people have crossed so that if the answer is hardly anybody, they could be moved somewhere else.

You won't be placed under restrictions but payments may be required to travel outside your "zone" which is a form of restriction in itself, it will be interesting to see if these things are pushed in the US as it would be against the constitution. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No evidence that it isn't going to happen either so you are guessing like we are guessing. Knowing the council, I would be surprised if it doesn't happen, and that is no more rubbish than your theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more straightforward - they dont have the money to make it palatable to sell as a vision to people. so it’s just half assed attempts at trying to get people out of their cars. it’s not an attempt to imprison people in their homes. 1 minute ago, Organgrinder said: No evidence that it isn't going to happen either so you are guessing like we are guessing.
