I’m off for a few beers in the sunshine now.

I’ll just say this before I put my trainers on. I’ve proved it’s bad idea, you can waffle on all week. That won’t change.

Enjoy.

And I've a boil on me ars* wants squeezing, so we'll see if anybody else wants to flog a dead horse getting any sense out of Denso.
 
No there’s not. That’s the entire premise.
Here's some, You are getting hung up on Mrs. Miggans pie shop.

"Approaches and good practices identified include:

Barcelona’s ‘superblock’ approach, first implemented in the Poblenou neighbourhood which has seen a 31% increase in the number of ground-level commercial establishments – rising from 65 to 85 – indicating a positive impact on commercial activity.

Bogotá’s ‘vital neighbourhoods’ vision, which is aiming to improve quality of life by improving streets and communities, including through a series of children’s priority zones centred around childcare centres.

Buenos Aires is working to bring green space, fresh food markets, health services, recycling points and other amenities to every neighbourhood, and improving walking and cycling infrastructure – including by creating one of the world’s largest car-free zones.

Melbourne began implementing a 20-minute pilot programme in three areas, and established a Movement and Place framework that puts people at the centre of transport planning, informed by a Local Liveability study. The city’s research found that 20 minutes is the maximum time that people are willing to walk to meet their daily needs locally.

Milan is upgrading streetscapes through its open squares and roads programmes, sustainable urban mobility plan, and introduction of a 30 km/h city speed limit (down from 50 km/h) on 60% of the road network.

Paris is treating schools as neighbourhood ‘capitals’, enabling these properties to serve multiple functions alongside childhood education, and working to strengthen local commercial networks, services and production under a ‘Produced in Paris’ brand.

Portland, Oregon benefited from baseline studies that sought to understand the potential of 20-minute neighbourhoods, and an anti-displacement action plan that aims to ensure equitable development and reduce displacement and its impact – both developed with the participation of residents."

Like I said, and thank you for proving my point again.

It will only work in a tourist type area. Let’s see how it goes down in Luton.

I think it would be better, in general, if services and facilities are closer to where people need/want them. I really don't see what the issue is with that?

Seems to be a lot of arguments against this, but with no supporting reasons

It’s a tourist gimmick at best. Making London a nice place to visit for once.

It will suit the £1600 a month squad perfectly though. Maybe that’s the plan…….
